A McDonald’s spokesperson told The Sun: “As part of our ongoing commitment to offer our customers more balanced choices, we started transitioning from Fanta Orange and Oasis Summer Fruits to Fanta Orange Zero and Oasis Zero Summer Fruits across all restaurants in the UK and Ireland from September. Restaurants will clearly display signage when the changes are taking place, and we will continue to provide options such as Coca-Cola Classic and Irn-Bru ( Scotland only).”

Whether it’s chocolate or flavoured coffees such as hazelnut or salted caramel, the sugary ingredients plus the full-fat milk and cream on top makes these indulgent drinks high in calories and saturated fat.

A medium sized Oasis contains 17g of sugar and 67 calories, but the Summer Fruits Zero has 2g of sugar and 12 calories. Even regular milkshake drinks without ice-cream will be high in sugar – some contain 10 tsp of sugar in a single bottle. Tropical fruit juice drinks (such as mango or lychee) or drinks made from cranberries, raspberries or cherries are often the ones to watch for. If you like these drinks, look for no-added-sugar versions, though bear in mind they will still contain fruit juice and therefore sugar. Fruit juice is sweet already, but fruit juice drinks usually have sugar added to them as well. Before you choose a juice, have a look at the ingredients list to see if sugar has been added. The term “juice drink” is often a clue that sugar has been added, while “pure juice” means that sugar hasn’t been added.
