Lozenges contain up to 6 E, and almost 70% of labels do not list the amount of sugar, according to the InfoCons study.

According to the cited source, all pills whose labels were analyzed contain E to a greater or lesser extent. Thus, according to a study based on information on the labels of lozenges, the minimum amount of Es detected for this type of product is 1, and the maximum is 6.

“Almost 70% of labels do not indicate the amount of sugar! After conducting the study, it turned out that sugar is mentioned on most labels, but the amount is not indicated on almost 70% of the labels,” said the authors of the study, quoted by Agerpres.

According to InfoCons, sugar in lozenges ranges from 0 to 1.5 g per lozenge, while sweeteners range from 0 to 1.1 g.

“The daily rate of sugar recommended by the World Health Organization is 25 g/day. When prescribing lozenges, this aspect must also be taken into account, as it is important not to exceed this limit. During the day, the menu is quite varied, and when taking lozenges, the amount of sugar in other consumed food products must also be taken into account,” the study also shows.
