TicTacs are advertised as having 0g of sugar. Do you want to know what TicTacs are made out of? Sugar. It's pure sugar formed into a small tablet shape.
Yes, they are mandated to print nutrition information. So they print exactly what they are asked to print. No more. No less. If the mandate says "foods with less than 999mg of sugar may print as 0g sugar" then they will follow that to the letter.
- golergka 9y agoFast Google search gives done additional details: > Tic Tac® mints do contain sugar as listed in the ingredient statement. However, since the amount of sugar per serving (1 mint) is less than 0.5 grams, FDA labeling requirements permit the Nutrition Facts to state that there are 0 grams of sugar per serving. So? It seems that they're honestly reporting exactly what's required from them and exactly what you need to balance your diet.
- jbob2000 9y agoI got the details wrong, but my point was that nutritional information isn't always "truthful". Yes, they're true to the labeling requirement, but they are not true to reality - there IS sugar in there. Get a person with diabetes to eat a bucketful and then try to tell me there is 0g of sugar in them.
- golergka 9y agoWhy would you eat a bucketful of Tic Tacs? A person with diabetes would have no problem eating a single Tic Tac, which is exactly what these markings are for.
