Sugars/Sugar Substitute Products: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Sugars and Sugar Substitute Products include a variety of ingredients used to sweeten foods and beverages. This category features items like corn syrup, maple syrup, honey, and granulated sugars, as well as non-nutritive sweeteners often called sugar substitutes. These products can add flavor to many dishes and drinks. When choosing products in this category, pay close attention to the Nutrition Facts label, especially the "Added Sugars" line. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting added sugars in your diet. Checking the ingredient list can also help you identify different types of sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, or high-fructose corn syrup. For those looking to reduce calorie intake from sweeteners, sugar substitutes offer an alternative. These ingredients provide sweetness with fewer or no calories. Always review the ingredient list to understand what type of sweetener a product contains. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
