‘Diabetic’ indication can’t be used any more
As of 20 July 2016 the ‘diabetic’ indication isn’t allowed to be used on food products in the European Union. The new regulation only makes it possible for manufacturers to provide information on sugar content. Low-sugar: the product’s sugar content is below 5g/100g or 2.5g/100ml. Sugar-free: the product’s sugar content is below 0.5g/100g or 0.5g/100ml. No added sugar: the product is made without mono- and disaccharides or any other sweetener (e.g. honey). Reduced sugar content: the product contains at least 30 percent less sugar than the standard version. Low-calorie: in the case of products like this, it always needs to be checked how the manufacturer achieved the lower energy intake, e.g. sugar being substituted with sweetener or reducing the fat content.
