Should the government set limit on how much sugar is allowed in snacks for babies and toddlers?

Question

I just read this article about how much added sugar is in baby foods, toddler snacks, toddler formula, etc. With the rise in childhood obesity and the obvious link between obesity and sugar consumption, should the government step in and mandate limits on how much sugar can be put in these types of snacks? If you aren’t for limiting the sugar, do you think there should be less advertising for these types of products, or maybe warning labels on infant/toddler snacks stating what the daily amount of sugar a child of that age should be having? Any other ideas? 
The articles pretty long but the link is https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/10/17/sweet-excess-how-baby-food-industry-hooks-toddlers-sugar-salt-fat/%3foutputType=amp
I’ve posted a couple screenshots from the article below.

Accepted Answer

Why stop at for children? Theres added sugar in everything. Even in bread. Its disgusting

Answer

I think so yes. If you market food for babies and toddlers you should have to follow specific guidelines. If a company wants to sell candy they can call it candy not baby food.

Answer

No. That’s up to the parents to monitor.

Answer

It makes sense to me to both limit, and have more clear nutritional info. 
I consider myself a fairly educated/intelligent person, but nutritional labels they have now are confusing as shit. It’s almost as bad as toilet paper math. 😬

Answer

I think it's a parent's responsibility to know what they are feeding their children.

Answer

Absolutely. There is no reason a child that small should be having unnecessary sugar in their food. This is why I make all of my daughter’s food.

Answer

This is tricky. If they take out the sugar, they’re just going to add some other fake/chemical sugar substitute to make it taste good so kids will eat it. Otherwise the companies will be out of business. 
But, I agree that marketing it to make it seem healthy is a crappy and misleading thing for the company to do. It’s all about the money for them, isn’t it?
With the science so clear about sugar and obesity, yes - I think that packages should just be clear and simple and less misleading. That way we can at least make informed choices without needing a magnifying glass and a degree in label reading. 
We don’t market cigarettes to kids and we shouldn’t market sugar to them either.

Answer

Can we stop adding so much sugar to everything?

Answer

In the UK we now have a sugar tax, where foods high in sugar cost more. For example a Coke and a Diet Coke in McDonald's used to be the same price and now there's an extra charge for normal Coke because of the sugar, even when it's part of a meal

Answer

I think it’s our responsibility as parents to read labels and make good choices. Do I wish there was less sugar in snacks, yes. Do I think the government should regulate that, NO!!!
