I’ve noticed that sometimes a snack food will have 3 different kinds of sugar as the 2-4th ingredients. I’ve wondered if they break it up like that so that the first ingredient isn’t sugar, even if there is more sugar-type-ingredients than there is of the first-listed ingredient.
It’s possible they use multiple types for flavor/texture reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some foods where it could be accomplished with sugar, but then everyone would know that the “snack” is mostly just sugar.
- gumby 4y agoYeah, I saw some soy milk at Whole Foods marked “no added sugar”. I was surprised that sugar might be added at all but I don’t drink the stuff. Anyway, I looked at the label and the #2 ingredient (after water) was “dehydrated cane juice” (i.e. sugar).

After the party, I tasted the leftover soy milk to see if I wanted to keep it for use with cereal or something. It was shockingly sweet — not like any other milk or milk substitute I've ever tasted.
