AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Sugary-Drink Tax Push (Philippines): The Philippines is weighing higher excise taxes on sweetened drinks, arguing it could raise major funding for PhilHealth and hospital upgrades while curbing obesity-linked consumption. School Food Rules (Jordan): Jordan’s health survey finds high teen overweight rates and low daily activity, prompting tighter canteen requirements that ban items like soft drinks and energy drinks. Hot-Drink Cancer Warning (Global health): New research links very hot beverages to higher oesophageal cancer risk, adding to guidance to let foods and drinks cool before eating. Restaurant Closures (Singapore): Crystal Jade shut its Great World outlet, its third closure in 2026, citing ongoing network and market-condition reviews. Alcohol Policy Pressure (Australia/UK): Australia’s Cancer Council backs a move toward mandatory alcohol advertising rules, while UK hospitality firms lobby for a concrete VAT cut plan. Fast-Food & Food Safety (Brussels): Brussels rat problems are blamed on abundant street food waste, with calls for stronger cleanup and better waste handling by restaurants. Confectionery Industry (Global): Expo and supplier updates highlight continued investment in chocolate and gummy equipment as brands chase higher output and consistent quality.
