Toddlers should not consume unnecessary sugar via their food….
…because they should not get used to food that is overly sweet. Furthermore, this can help to prevent overweight and tooth decay. Products for toddlers such as desserts, fruit bars, and snacks are limited in their content of sugar (EU Directive on Early Childhood Products). Growing-up milk does not contain supplemented sugar – it only contains the carbohydrate lactose that is inherently contained in milk.
