Food sugar safety assessment postponed to 2021

EFSA’s assessment of the safety of dietary sugars has been postponed to 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a very high volume of scientific information to be assessed. The new timeline is as follows:

• public consultation on the draft scientific opinion in mid-2021,
• final adoption before the end of the same year.

EFSA nutrition experts are striving to establish a maximum tolerable intake level for total / added / free dietary sugars if the available data allow it.
