Mexico’s Sugary Drink Tax

A tax on sugary drinks to reduce consumption, improve public health, and encourage healthier dietary habits.

Initiated in response to rising obesity and diabetes rates, with support from public health advocates.

Managed by the Mexican Ministry of Health, with evaluations by academic and public health institutions.

Reduced sugary drink sales by over 12% in the first year; ongoing studies monitor health impacts​. One of the major findings was that those from lower socio-economic households actually reduced the amount of taxed sugary drinks they bought more than any other group (17% reduction)
