Note
Built-in values are typical averages for added sugar, not exact label data, and brands can differ. The WHO suggests less than 10 percent of daily energy from added sugar (about 50 g on a typical diet), and less than 5 percent for extra benefit (about 25 g for women, 36 g for men). One teaspoon of sugar is about 4 g. Estimate only — not medical advice.
