Read the food description

The sweetened record also specifies without salt. The difference between the two foods is a source-record comparison, not a measurement of sugar added to one recipe.

These are source reference values. A specific brand, recipe or portion can differ. Total sugar is distinct from carbohydrate and should not be relabeled as added sugar.
