What this comparison means

A difference between these records does not establish an effect of freezing: varieties, samples and source methods can differ. The frozen reference is explicitly unsweetened.

Total sugar is not an added-sugar measurement. Neither a difference in total sugar nor an equal-weight comparison alone determines which food fits an individual diet.

Source portions, with their own weights

The following portions are not equal-weight comparisons. Each calculated sugar amount uses the portion weight from its own source record.
