I have a diabetic friend who has problems with this - Tesco does a mixed beans in tomato sauce that I liked and recommended to him, and he checked it out and it was low enough in sugar for him.
Later, it jumped, and he was upset about the change, and contacted Tesco - turns out they change the mix for each batch based on the price of certain beans - if the sweeter beans are more expensive, they put in more of the others and add more sugar to try and keep the taste consistent, while keeping costs low.
It makes sense, but it is a pain for people with dietary restrictions (or just those trying to track their intake accurately).
- wyager 11y agoIf they're keeping the taste consistent, shouldn't the total amount of sugar stay roughly the same? It seems like the only thing that would change is how much of the sugar comes from beans versus granulated sugar.
- colechristensen 11y agoThere are many different sugars. They all vary in how sweet we perceive them and how they affect blood-glucose (and how fast).
