The US made a big reform of food labelling, by revising the Food Nutritionals Labelling for prepackaged food. For the first time, sugar addition is listed as a key target for monitoring. This will impact the global sweetener consumption and will lead consumers to take low calorie food.
Price:
In late May, sugar price stopped the fall starting from mid-April and began to rise again. Meanwhile, international sugar price rose also.

All this will tighten the global sugar supply and help push up price rises.
