Where the sugar comes from: Pizza Express Pancetta & Maple Syrup Pancakes

All 27g counts as free sugar. Pizza Express does not separate naturally occurring sugar from added sugar, so Boone counts the full figure.

NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6.
