In line with the debates that led to the enactment of the Lurel Law in 2013, our study assesses the nutritional quality of products, through their sugar content, for a large part of the food supply available in the French West Indies and compares this food supply with those in mainland France. The analysis focuses on three product sectors - sweetened beverages, fresh dairy products, biscuits and cakes - which are the largest contributors to the sugar intake in populations of Martinique and Guadeloupe. In overall, for the 3 sectors studied, the food supply available in the French West Indies slightly differs from that observed in mainland France. On average, the sugar contents are comparable, both for the sector of sweetened beverages (5% different on average) and for the sector of biscuits and cakes. The sector of fresh dairy products stands out more strongly with an average sugar content of 15% higher than those in mainland France. Nevertheless, for some product groups, which can be widely consumed, variations in sugar content are likely to have an impact on consumers' sugar intake. Carbonated and non-carbonated fruit drinks, lemonades, creamy desserts, fresh cheeses and sweetened yogurts, which represent groups with a large number of references available (suggesting high levels of consumption), have higher sugar contents in the French West Indies than in mainland France. While these differences clearly appear and should not be underestimated, the results lead to qualify the idea that the nutritional quality of the food supply available in the French West Indies would be a major determinant of higher sugar intakes compared to mainland France. The effect due to the quantities consumed is at least as important as those due to the observed differences in sugar content.
