Can You Spot The Added Sugar In These Ingredients Lists?

There are more than 60 of them.

You might've heard: It's now a rule that Nutrition Facts labels include the amount of added sugar that's in food.

Added sugar is anything that manufacturers put in packaged food, as opposed to the naturally occurring sugar that you'd find in, say, fruit. The FDA's rule is aimed at raising awareness about the amounts of added sugars that are in foods, so that we can all make more educated decisions about what we're buying. But the agency is giving food manufacturers until 2020–2021 to incorporate the change into their packaging. Until then, if you want to know what the added sugars are in a food product, you might have to refer to the ingredients list. Do you think you'll be able to spot them?

With over 60 names (!!!), some of them can be misleading or just sound random AF...which is why we thought it'd be fun to see if you can spot them in the ingredients lists below. We also spoke to Abby Langer, RD, owner of Abby Langer Nutrition, to help us better understand how some of them work in the body. BTW, chances are you'll see a lot of these labels have the word "sugar" on them. They're added sugar, too, but that's in addition to the names we're testing you on.

Now, good luck!
