Five Guys' milkshake among menu items with more than 35 teaspoons of sugar, survey says
The organisation who conducted the survey is also calling for a ban of such drinks. Five Guys’ Banana and Chocolate Shake is discovered to have 37 teaspoons of sugar, more than seven times the recommended amount for 7 to 10-year old children, according to a survey by UK charity Action on Sugar. “Undoubtedly some of these milkshakes contribute to excess sugar and calorie intake, and it is shocking this information is hidden from the consumer, who would struggle to find it,” Kawther Hashem, researcher at Action on Sugar, said. The organisation also called out Family restaurant Toby Carvery for their Unicorn Shake, containing 39 teaspoons of sugar. “It is time the government introduced legislation to force companies to be more transparent about what is in their products by displaying clear nutrition information online and in the outlets, at all times,” he added.
