"No Sugar Added"??

Look at a food label that says "no sugar added", but then read the Nutrition Facts panel and see some grams of sugars...What gives?? Several foods have naturally-occurring sugars, including milk, fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, and legumes. The "sugars" category on the food label refers to both added and natural-occurring sugars.

Serving Size

The serving size listed on a Nutrition Facts label is based on how much people generally eat, not necessarily the amount recommended or the amount you eat. The nutrition information applies to one serving. If the serving is 1 cup, and you eat 2 cups, you are getting twice the calories, fat, sodium, etc.

Check the Nutrition Facts

Read the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods to know what you are really getting. Marketing claims on the front of a food package are just there to grab your attention.
