Jamie Oliver was jubilant on Wednesday after the sugar tax he suggested made its away into George Osborne's budget .

The celebrity chef said on Instagram: "A profound move that will ripple around the world ....business can not come between our Kids health !! Our kids health comes first

"Bold, brave , logical and supported by all the right people....now bring on the whole strategy soon to come ... Amazing news"

The tax has two bands - one for 5g of sugar per 100g and one for over 10g of sugar per 100g.

However, some were angered by the tax, which won't only hit Fanta and Coca-Cola but gin and tonic.

The recipes for drinks on his website contain vast amounts of sugar.

A recipe for 'Holiday citrus slushies' on his site contains 23g of the hated white granules per serving, while another recipe for a 'passion fruit caipirinha' includes 4 tablespoons of brown caster sugar to make just two servings.

One recipe promoted on his site calls for gammon to be cooked in four litres of coca-cola.

And it isn't just his drinks recipes which are heaped with sugar - one slice of the 'Children's Party Cake' which is promoted on his site contains 32.5g of sugar, which is three times the daily intake recommended for a child.

After the tax was announced, angered people trawled his website for sugary recipes.

Many people struck gold and tweeted the results.

Britain will become one of the first countries in the world to introduce a sugar tax on soft drinks.

Mr Osborne’s sugar tax was the surprise announcement of the Budget and will raise £520million that will then be ploughed in to school sports programmes.

The levy, which will come into force in two years, will increase the price of a can of Coca-Cola by around 8p.

Sugar tax

The Chancellor said: "I am not prepared to look back at my time here in this Parliament, doing this job and say to my children's generation 'I'm sorry. We knew there was a problem with sugary drinks.

“We knew it caused disease. But we ducked the difficult decisions and we did nothing'.”

It will be imposed on companies according to the volume of the sugar-sweetened drinks they produce or import.



The Treasury believes that companies will start reducing the content of their sugary drinks to avoid the tax.

Sweet coffee, tea, hot chocolates and milkshakes, which can contain up to 25 teaspoons of sugar, are exempt because they contain milk. Pure fruit juices will also not be taxed.
