In 2014, the Canadian Beverages Association (CBA) launched the
Balance Calories Initiative (BCI). The initiative’s goal is to reduce

in Canada by 2025. Most of the calories in these beverages are due to
sugar. Therefore, the initiative entails reducing the amount of sugar
that Canadians consume each year.
