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?
In: Chemistry
“No sugar added” just means that no sweetener was incorporated into the substance when it was made. All living things have a need for sugar, so for example oat milk, which was once a plant, has sugar just by virtues of being a plant. There are various ways to measure the sugar content I’m sure, one of which is test strips.
