Asda has been the first major Supermarket cafe to switch off the draft machines for the last time before the new laws come into affect with Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons expected to follow very soon.


The new Sugar tax means most major drinks can only contain half of the current sugar levels used but Draft machines dont have this option.


Irn-Bru has also recently had to issue information to customers that the drink will remain unchanged even at half the current sugar levels.
