Read the food description

A small spoonful and 100g of juice are very different quantities. Use a reported source portion below, or weigh the juice used in a recipe.

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.
