- Spivak 3y agoThis isn't as exploitable as it first seems. > The food contains less than 0.5 g of sugars, as defined in § 101.9(c)(6)(ii), per reference amount customarily consumed and per labeled serving or, in the case of a meal product or main dish product, less than 0.5 g of sugars per labeled serving; and >(ii) The food contains no ingredient that is a sugar or that is generally understood by consumers to contain sugars unless the listing of the ingredient in the ingredient statement is followed by an asterisk that refers to the statement below the list of ingredients, which states "adds a trivial amount of sugar," "adds a negligible amount of sugar," or "adds a dietarily insignificant amount of sugar;" and https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.60 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfr... First, you can't add sugar, it has to be sugars that naturally occur in the other ingredients, but not ingredients that people know contain sugar like fruit, and second products don't have as much leeway as you think in defining their serving size. The FDA actually spells out what kinds of food get what serving size which is why you never see 1 chip / serving.
- Retric 3y agoNot everyone understands how sugary apple juice is. Look at how often it shows up in “health” food. The goal isn’t to fool everyone all the time, it’s to fool people who are only looking at the label or are skimming the ingredients list etc.
- infinite8s 3y agoFruit juice is not much better than soda when it comes sugar content. The only beverages allowed in our house are water, whole fat milk, and alcohol (because of course us parents get an exception).
- Scarblac 3y agoNo coffee and tea?
- HarryHirsch 3y agoWhole-fat milk is a meal, not a beverage, and it's a mystery how anyone can put up with the flavour. Especially mystifying: whole-fat milk with your meal.
- trealira 3y ago> and it's a mystery how anyone can put up with the flavour. What do you mean? Do you dislike its taste? I enjoy its taste, although I usually just drink water with my meals.
- infinite8s 3y agoOnly my kids love whole fat milk (it's kinda scary how much of it they drink, but then being vegetarian it does provide a decent amount of protein and fat). I just use it for coffee.
- MandieD 3y agoI have to limit how much my toddler gets, or he would literally suck down 1.5 liters of whole milk a day, and not bother with that time-wasting eating business that keeps him away from more important things, like his train set.
