"Many Photos" - Cadbury's Dairy Milk Crunchie Ultimate Easter egg contains 17 DAYS' worth of sugar

Super-sized Eater eggs are a risk to health because of the extraordinary amount of sugar they contain, campaigners have warned.

Over-indulging youngsters could do ‘real’ damage, they say, if they consumer an entire egg in one day – all too likely at Easter.

Cadbury's Dairy Milk Crunchie Ultimate Easter Egg contains a whopping 330g of sugar. This is the equivalent of 17 days’ worth of sugar, based on the NHS recommendation for children aged four to six to consumer no more than 19g in a day.

Other offenders include Maltesers Crunchy Easter Egg, which comes with two chocolaty bunnies plus a bag of mini sweet treats.

At 496g, 271.5g of this is made up of sugar, with young children getting up to 14 days' worth in one sitting.

Some giant eggs, as they are described by some supermarkets online, come with up to five extra treats, which add to the total sugar content.

The National Obesity Forum has warned that super-sized Easter eggs – which can weigh more than half a kilo – are a 'real risk to our health'.

The Nestlé Smarties Chocolate Egg (480g), which comes with two tubes of the popular treats, has 261g of sugar.

HOW MUCH SUGAR IS TOO MUCH? 

The amount of sugar a person should eat in a day depends on how old they are.

Children aged four to six years old should be limited to a maximum of 19 grams per day.

Seven to 10-year-olds should have no more than 24 grams, and children aged 11 and over should have 30g or less.  

Popular snacks contain a surprising amount of sugar and even a single can of Coca Cola (35g of sugar) or one Mars bar (33g) contains more than the maximum amount of sugar a child should have over a whole day.  

A bowl of Frosties contains 24g of sugar, meaning a 10-year-old who has Frosties for breakfast has probably reached their limit for the day before they even leave the house.  

Children who eat too much sugar risk damaging their teeth, putting on fat and becoming overweight, and getting type 2 diabetes which increases the risk of heart disease and cancer.

And Cadbury's Dairy Milk with Oreo large Easter egg - although smaller at 278g - contains 195g of sugar, or ten days' worth.

The National Obesity Forum told The Sun: 'These eggs are a real risk to health.' 

The NHS recommends children aged seven-to-ten have no more than 24g of sugar a day, while adults should limit themselves to a maximum of 30g.

This comes after the Royal Society for Public Health warned the prominent displays of Easter eggs in every shop are an 'unnecessary temptation' in a nation beset by obesity. 

Cadbury, Nestlé and Mars - which represents Maltesers - have been approached for comment. 

The amount of sugar a person should eat in a day depends on how old they are.

Children aged four to six years old should be limited to a maximum of 19 grams per day.

Seven to 10-year-olds should have no more than 24 grams, and children aged 11 and over should have 30g or less.

MINI EASTER EGGS ARE A CHOKING HAZARD 

Mini Easter eggs are a deadly choking hazard, an expert has warned.

Nurse and first-aid trainer Emma Hammett, claimed the chocolatey treats are the same size as a child's airways.

Babies and young children can choke on anything small enough to fit through a toilet roll, resulting in them struggling to breath and being unable to talk or cry, she said.

Although mini Easter eggs' manufacturers state they are unsuitable for youngsters under four on their packagings, many parents are oblivious to warning.

Ms Hammett advises parents reduce their children's choking risk by buying them larger, hollow chocolate eggs, as well as keeping an eye on them while they indulge over the holiday.
