Poland Plans Sugar Tax Hike

The Polish government intends to expand its sugar tax to include more energy drinks and sweetened beverages from 2027.

Poland is proposing an increase in its sugar tax starting in 2027. The new measures would target a wider range of products, specifically focusing on energy drinks, sweetened beverages, and juice-based drinks.

According to Food Business Africa, industry representatives have expressed concern over the move. Groups representing manufacturers warn that the expanded tax could lead to higher consumer prices and negatively impact producers within the sector.
