可口可樂和其他飲料商在新加坡市場承諾減糖

Seven major drinks companies including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo will limit the sugar content of drinks they sell in Singapore, as part of the country's campaign to fight diabetes.

包括可口可樂和百事可樂在內的7家主要飲料公司，將限制其在新加坡市場出售的飲品的含糖量，這是新加坡抗擊糖尿病措施的一部分。

Singapore is one of the first countries in Asia to target sugary drinks, bringing it in line with many Western nations that have sought to mitigate the health risks associated with sugar through measures such as taxes and warning labels.

新加坡是亞洲最早瞄準含糖飲料的國家之一，這與許多西方國家的做法一致，這些國家試圖通過增加稅收和貼警告標籤等措施來減輕與糖有關的健康風險。

Globally, beverage firms have been reworking recipes, racing to cut sugar and introduced more options to cater to increasingly health-conscious consumers

在全球範圍內，飲料公司一直在重新制作配方，他們競相削減糖分、提供更多種類，以此來迎合那些越來越注意健康的消費者。

Singapore's ministry of health said the seven firms had signed an industry pledge to remove by 2020 drinks that contain more than 12 per cent sugar from their portfolios of sugar-sweetened beverages.

新加坡衛生部日前表示，這七家公司已簽署了一項行業承諾，將在2020年之前清除含糖超過12%的糖分飲料。

As well as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the companies include F&N Foods, Malaysia Dairy Industries, Nestle, Pokka and Yeo Hiap Seng.

除可口可樂和百事可樂以外，這些公司還包括F&N Foods、馬來西亞乳業、雀巢、Pokka以及Yeo Hiap Seng。

Daily sugar Consumption per capita from soft drinks has risen since 2010 to 6.08 grams in Asia-Pacific in 2016, with Singapore at 11.99 grams, according to market research firm Euromonitor.

據市場調研公司歐睿的數據顯示，自2010年以來，亞太地區人均每日的軟飲料糖攝入量已上升至6.08克，而新加坡爲11.99克。

Consumption has been trending lower in Europe and the United States, but it is still higher than in Asia-Pacific.

雖然歐洲和美國的攝入量一直在下降，但仍高於亞太地區。

"Governments in Asia are actively promoting healthy consumption, such as Malaysia which launched its Healthier Choices Logo in April 2017," said Euromonitor analyst Nathanael Lim. "Consumers also have an increasing preference for beverages containing natural ingredients with zero sugar."

歐睿的分析師納撒內爾·利姆表示：“亞洲各國政府正在積極推動健康消費，比如馬來西亞在2017年4月推出了更健康的選擇標語。消費者也越來越傾向於無糖的天然飲料。”
