CFF making plant-based flavouring to reduce sugar content in drinks

Caribbean Flavours and Fragrances (CFF) says it is lending support to manufacturers by introducing a plant-based flavouring aimed at naturally reducing the sugar content of beverages without compromising the taste of the products or the health of consumers.
 
Chief Executive Officer of CFF Derrick Cotterell said his company is introducing tried and tested science that has been around for more than 10 years, which will allow Jamaica to catch up with many other countries in the world.
  
The Government has been urging manufacturers of soft drinks and other refreshments to lower the sugar content of their products to reduce obesity, which gives rise to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, or it may be forced to use taxation as a means to get compliance.
