A majority of New Zealanders have expressed their support on limiting the amount of sugar beverage companies put in their products. According to a national survey, 46 per cent of Kiwi adults said there must "definitely" be a limit to sugar in soft drinks while 32 per cent answered "possibly" on imposing such limits.
In the same poll, fewer Kiwis were found to support the idea of tax on sugary drinks. However, 46 per cent of New Zealanders agree that the sugar content in takeaways must be taxed with 59 per cent preferring a limit on the serving size of soft drinks and other sugary drinks.
The survey was conducted by Horizon Research and it was the first time a poll had indicated public opinion on policies to curb sugar intake.
