Free sugar vs total sugar

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

All 21g counts as free sugar. Pizza Express does not separate naturally occurring sugar from added sugar, so Boone counts the full figure. Sugars from sauces, purées and added sugar are free sugars; any from whole fruit, vegetables or milk would not be, so this may slightly overstate it. That is 5.3 teaspoons.

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