A spokeswoman for the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (BLV) of the Keystone-SDA news agency confirmed this on Sunday. The “Sonntagszeitung” had first reported on the failed negotiations.

Next, the FSVO wants to analyze which rules and regulations have worked abroad and which have not. A federal statutory provision would also be possible. “Legal action is being discussed,” says the spokeswoman for the authorities. But nothing is certain yet.

Negotiations are also underway about a possible reduction of sugar in sweet drinks. It was already agreed in 2015 as part of the “Milan Declaration” about less sugar in yogurt and breakfast cereals. In 2019, 14 companies agreed to reduce the sugar content in yogurt by 10 percent and that of grains by 15 percent by 2024. The result of the talks about further sugar reductions will be announced in early 2023, according to the BLV.
