Sugars and 0g sugars on labels

All fruits and vegetables have naturally occurring sugars. The whole30 program is concerned with added sugars and sweeteners, and the ingredient list is king.

I believe US labeling laws allow a label to say 0g of something if the actual total is less than 0.5g. I may be wrong, but that seems to be the rule for fat. Fda labeling.

So, in reality, ignore the values on the nutrition label.

A product could have 12g of sugar, but the ingredient list is only tomatoes. This product is compliant.

A product could have 0g of sugar, but the ingredient list is chicken, honey. This product is not compliant.

Like the moderator said above, ignore the nutrition label.
