Food labelling can be confusing.  For instance there is sugar-free, low sugar and no added sugar.  Here’s an explanation of each:

Sugar-free: the product must contain less than 0.2g of sugar per 100g or 100ml.  Fizzy drinks is an example of a sugar-free product, they are sweetened with artificial sweeteners.

Low-sugar: these products must contain less than 5g of sugar per 100g or 100ml.  Therefore you need to bear in mind the total amount you are consuming, eg if you are consuming 300g then you are also consuming 15g of sugar.

No added sugar: You might see this on museli packets or fruit juices.  As it says, this means that no sugar has been added to the product.  It is likely that the product contains ‘natural’ sugar though, eg fructose.
