Edit: thank you so much for all the answers!:) I think my question wasn’t too clear. Sorry about that. I do understand that there is sugar naturally in our food. I am just wondering how it is measured when nothing is added. E.g my oat milk says 5g of sugar per 100ml. But since no sugar is added, how could 5g per 100ml be determined? How do they know?

If I give you a cup of all natural, homemade **maple syrup**, it’s “no sugar added”. I didn’t add any sugar. It will also be about… eighty grams of sugar. Because that maple sap was loaded with sugar when I took it out of the tree.
An apple, same thing; you don’t have to add any sugar to an apple, it has sugar in it when it grew on the tree.
A box of lucky charms cereal? They added a bunch of sugar when they made the cereal.
Oats? Not much as much sugar as pure maple syrup, not even s much as an apple, but a little bit.
