On a pedantic side note here, I believe no-sugar-added products can be very high sugar as long as a sugar isn't directly added. For example, if someone made honey-flavored ice cream, they could call it a no-sugar-added product and still load it with enough honey to make it one of the most sugary of all.

    Edit: I was wrong about honey. It's included with a list of sugars, even though it's natural.

    The same is not true for fruit concentrate, however and it can be used to add sweetness to "no sugar added" products.

    There is also a sneaky kind of accounting that food companies do called "net carbohydrates" that make processed foods seem to contain less sugar than they actually do, by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols. It's a reprehensible practice.
