High street chain Starbucks has been blasted for selling a hot chocolate for children that contains nearly three teaspoons of added sugar. Nutritional information on the firm's website doesn't show any information for the 'Kids' hot chocolate. 'Any Starbucks drink can be made with a cooler milk temperature, which parents can request. 'In 2015 we announced a five year plan to reduce added sugar in indulgent beverages by at 25 per cent and we have already made significant progress.' The vast majority of the sugar children eat is hidden in common foods such as cereals and soft drinks, making it hard for parents to control what they consume.
