Desserts/Dessert Sauces/Toppings: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Desserts, dessert sauces, and toppings include a wide variety of sweet treats designed to complement meals or be enjoyed on their own. This category features items like puddings, whipped creams, fruit toppings, and dessert syrups. When choosing products in this category, checking the Nutrition Facts label can help you make informed decisions. Pay attention to added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting added sugars, recommending no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Look for products with lower amounts. Also, check the saturated fat content. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming less than 10% of your daily calories from saturated fat. For sodium, the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 milligrams per day; some dessert items can contribute to this. Reviewing the ingredient list can also be helpful. Ingredients are listed in order of amount, from most to least. This helps you see if sugars, fats, or other desired ingredients are present in larger quantities. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
