"Reduced in sugar", "low in sugar", "no added sugar".
Can we really trust these messages put forward by brands to promote more and more products?
This is the question posed by UFC-Que Choisir, our partner, in an article published in January.
By sifting through a hundred articles, the association was able to differentiate the good ones from the bad ones.
On the menu: spreads, cereals, sandwich loaves, fruit in syrup or plant-based milks.
Some salty foods are also on the list, such as ketchup or mayonnaise.
If you want to know and understand everything about these names, we suggest, for this new edition of Brief Conso, to ask all your questions about so-called “light” and “light” products.
Which "low-sugar" foods can you trust? Are their prices more expensive than their classic equivalent? You want to know if sweeteners such as sucralose, acesulfame K or aspartame are safe for your health or if a low-fat food is not overloaded with salt, flavorings, additives, extracts, etc... What about the materials? fat? Are you wondering about the maximum recommended sugar consumption? Ask us all your questions.
