What this comparison means

The packing medium stays part of each food. These values do not describe drained solids, and the difference alone does not measure sugar added to an otherwise identical batch.

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.
