Zero Sugar Claim 1 article

A Zero Sugar Claim is labeling language used to indicate that a food meets the applicable conditions for a sugar-free or zero-sugar nutrient-content claim. The wording concerns sugar content, not whether the product is unsweetened, carbohydrate-free, or free of sugar alcohols or non-nutritive sweeteners. Accurate label reading therefore pairs the claim with Total Sugars, Added Sugars, the ingredient list, and any required accompanying statements rather than treating 'zero sugar' as a complete description of the formula.
