Abstract
Aim: The objective of the study is to investigate the sugar content present in various biscuits available in the local stores in Chennai. Materials and Methods: The data were collected from products packaging and nutrition labeling. For each biscuit, the data collected included the product name, pack weight, serving size, total sugars per 100 g as well as per suggestive serving size. Results: The average sugar content in biscuits is 28.5 g/100 g. There was a large variation in the sugar content present between different biscuit products. Among the 40 products, 35 products showed a high sugar content when compared to the normal recommended dose for children. Conclusion: The study showed that the sugar contents present in biscuits were high, and there can be a reduction in the amount of sugar present and thus help in overall reduction of childhood obesity and dental caries.
