#25 In EuropeSugar processing in Europe has undergone a turbulent period brought on by volatile prices and government strategies to reduce consumption. Driven by measures to curb sugar intake, several European countries, including Belgium, Estonia, France, Hungary, Norway and the UK, have imposed taxes on sugary drinks. Some have even taxed sugary foods. Food and drink manufacturers are altering their recipes by reducing sugar and substituting it with other sweeteners. This has depressed sales of sugars.
