What this comparison means
The difference is between two source foods. It is not a controlled recipe comparison and cannot be relabeled as a measured quantity of added sugar.
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.
