Save Our Sugar
Save Our Sugar is an industry initiative that was created by Tate & Lyle Sugars in 2012. As one of Europe’s leading suppliers of sugar and sweetener products they have led the way in trying to protect the sugar industry. [1],
The company describes it 'as an attempt to bring transparency' to the European Union debate on sugar and cane refining. 'At a time when negotiations for a revised Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the rules for the European sugar market will be altered Save our sugar is working hard to ensure that cane refining is treated fairly in the EU'.
