"Sugar-free food" does not mean "sugar-free food"

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to diet and health. “Sweet-free foods” have become popular among consumers because of their widespread popularity. In particular, they are strongly sought after by diabetics. But how can we really buy "sugar-free food"? However, we must carefully look at it carefully.

According to the staff of Wuxi County Association of Consumers, some consumers had originally intended to buy “sugar-free” foods. Finally, they had misled the sales staff to purchase “sugar-free” food. However, such complaints were often caused by “no sugar”. The words are clearly identified, and the consumers themselves have a fault that has not been carefully examined. The mediation is also mostly a return, or the consumer is doing something else for him.

The staff pointed out that in China, sugar-free foods generally refer to sweet foods that do not contain sucrose (cane sugar and beet sugar) and glucose, maltose, fructose, etc., but sugar-free foods should contain sugar alcohols (including xylitol and Yamanashi Alcohols, maltitol, mannitol, and other alternatives. According to the national standard "General Rules for the Labeling of Prepackaged Special Dietary Foods," the requirement of "sugar-free" means that the amount of sugar per 100g or 100ml of solid or liquid food is not higher than 0.5g. Simply labeling "no sugar" does not mean "no sugar."

Remind consumers that when shopping for “sugar-free foods”, they must keep their eyes open. Be sure to check whether the ingredient list on the label meets the “sugar-free food” standard. At the same time, the business must also be honest and honest. Regarding the real situation of the goods, do not mislead consumers.
