Two Sugar Numbers on Your Yogurt Label Mean Different Things
Health & Nutrition
The total sugars line on a U.S. Nutrition Facts label combines naturally present sugars with any added sugars. The added sugars line tells you how much of that total came from ingredients added to sweeten the food.
For example, plain milk or yogurt can contain natural milk sugar. A flavored yogurt may include sweeteners too. Compare equal serving sizes and read the added sugars line if you want to compare what was added.
Use the label alongside the ingredients and the rest of your meal. The two numbers answer different questions about the same serving.
