Many food labels will try to hide added sugars by giving alternate names for sugar. In the list below, see if you can spot all of the alternate names used for added sugar:
Dextrose
Maple Syrup
Corn Syrup
Fructose
Nectars (peach nectar, pear nectar, etc.)
Inverted sugar
Sucrose
All of these are alternate names for sugar...and there are many more that didn't make this list! If any ingredient has "syrup" in the name or ends in "ose" (sucrose, fructose, etc.), it is likely an added sugar.
