how is sugar measured in things like unsweetened oat milk when it says “no sugar added” but yet has sugar per 100ml in the nutrients table?

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?

A lot of things have sugar in it already, natural sugars. Those sugars don’t count for the “no sugars added” which only count for additives done by the manufacturer. That is why you can have products that day no sugars added on the package but still have sugars in them.
