If you go in a supermarket in EU almost every food product contains sugar.
That just means that the item contains sugars. It doesn't mean that we've added sugars to it. A fresh apple has sugar. A fresh tomato has sugar. Many if not most fruits and vegetables do. It shouldn't be a surprise that the canned/frozen varieties have a bit of sugar on the label.
- avdlinde 3y agoIf the label contains sugar, it was added and not inclusive of other whole ingredients. You can buy canned apples (ingredients :apples) and canned apples (ingredients :water, sugar, apples). Guess which costs more.
- rightbyte 3y agoWhy would you buy canned apples without sugar or vinegar as conservatives in the first place? The pure apple in a can can't last for long.
- ryneandal 3y agoI hate to be the pedant, but I think you meant preservatives. I kept imagining Mitt Romney in a tub with sliced apples and it was unnerving to say the least
- Broken_Hippo 3y agoThe nutrition label will tell you if it contains sugar even though none was added. If the ingredient list contains sugar, it was added.
