Added sugar??
It says 3 grams of sugar, but I don’t see sugar in the ingredients unless it’s disguised as something else?? Can I eat this trader joe muesli?

annefood 6yr Hey! The sugar is coming from the raisins, pear juice concentrate, and dried apples. Current nutrition labels show total sugar, which is a combination of any intrinsic sugars (from fruit, grains, lactose etc) and added sugars. New nutrition labels will soon show added sugar as it's own line, but in the meantime the only way to differentiate is by looking at the ingredients. This product is fine on the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge. Technically the caramelized pear juice concentrate has been added for sweetness, but fruit juices are allowed on this Challenge. -
