KNOW THE LABEL

Added Sugar in Food Labels

Added sugar is one of the clearer nutrition signals to watch, especially when a small serving contains a large amount.

What’s worth knowing

Sugar can appear under many names. The useful question is not whether a product contains any sugar, but how much it contributes relative to the serving and the rest of the food.

The ingredient list is only part of the picture. Serving size, available nutrition data, the rest of the ingredients and your overall eating pattern all provide context.

How Chop the Slop handles it

We separate stronger nutrition signals from ingredients that are mainly debated online. The Slop Score is a comparison tool, not a medical-risk score.
