Special Tax on Coffee and Soft Drinks

In the Law and Decree on Special Tax on Coffee and Soft Drinks, sugar in soft drinks is taxed according to the amount of sugar per mL of soft drink.

School Fruit, Vegetables and Milk Scheme

"Applicable since 1 August 2017, the EU school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme combines two previous schemes (the school fruit and vegetables scheme and the school milk scheme) under a single legal framework for more efficiency and an enhanced focus on health and educational. The scheme supports the distribution of products, educational measures and information measures. The scheme supports the distribution of fruit, vegetables, milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren, from nursery to secondary school. EU countries approve a list of products (in collaboration with their health and nutrition authorities) which will help achieve the schemes objective of helping children to follow a healthy diet. Priority is for fresh fruit and vegetables and for plain milk. In order to support a varied diet and/or specific nutritional needs, EU countries may also make processed fruit and vegetables such as juices and soups and certain milk products such as yoghurt and cheese, available. Additionally, under stricter conditions, milk-based drinks may be included." - EU Commission

STRATEGY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHOOL SCHEME IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA FROM 2017/2018 TO 2022/2023 SCHOOL YEAR

Since the consumption of fruit and vegetables and milk and milk products decreases as students’ age increases, and in order to shape children’s eating habits in this developmental phase and increase the proportion of fruit and vegetables and milk and milk products in their diet, to prevent obesity and other diseases caused by unsuitable eating habits and reduce the intake of food with a large proportion of fat, sugar and salt, the School Scheme will be implemented among primary and secondary school children.
