Added-sugar label reading
LifeZoi free guide. The PDF uses these same words.
A short way to find added sugars on a food label. lifeZoi does not set a personal sugar limit.
Find the line
Pick up the package and find the Nutrition Facts label.
Find Total Sugars, then the line for Added Sugars.
The word includes means the added sugars are part of the total sugars.
Compare
Look at two products you might actually buy.
Read the Added Sugars line on each.
Then read the ingredient list for sugar, honey, or syrup.
Where to read more
The FDA page explains how added sugars are listed. Use that page for the label rules.
