This is a very interesting case, for a few reasons.
First, marketing: they cleverly declare that the product has "No high fructose corn syrup", while they added a lot of sugars (13g/26%!!). I'm looking forward the next product declaring "no added cyanide" :)
The second is classifications of sugar. The "carbohydrates" term is too generic to ascertain the type(s) (and associated health impact); for example, 100g of dry beans are certainly a good meal, but in terms of labelling, they're around 90% of "carbohydrates" (one needs to look at the "sugars" label).
On this product label, around 8g are not "sugars", in other words, not simple carbohydrates, but I don't understand where they come from, based on the ingredients; they could be starch, but the label says <1% of corn starch. I wonder if "modified corn starch" classifies as "not corn starch", which would explain the missing 8g.
