Read the food description

The description explicitly says sweetened, but total sugar alone cannot quantify added sugar. Use the original food record and the label of a specific product for context.

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.
