What this comparison means

These are separately described source foods, not the same batch before and after preparation. The comparison does not measure added sugar or establish a recipe or dilution effect. Read each preparation state and use its own reported portion weights.

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.
