Free sugar vs total sugar
Where the sugar comes from: Pizza Hut BBQ Americano Gluten Free pizza
All 20g counts as free sugar. Pizza Hut does not separate naturally occurring sugar from added sugar, so Boone counts the full figure. Sugars from sauces, tomato paste, purées and added sugar are free sugars; any from whole vegetables or milk would not be, so this may slightly overstate it. That is 5.1 teaspoons.
NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6.
