Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Starbucks Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Matcha Latte (Tall)

Serving	Total sugar	Free (added) sugar	Naturally occurring	Free sugar in teaspoons
Per serving	22.2g	11.5g	10.7g	2.9 tsp

Made with semi-skimmed milk, about 10.7g of the sugar in this drink is lactose, which occurs naturally in milk and does not count towards NHS free sugar limits. That leaves 11.5g of free sugar.

Boone derives the lactose figure from the milk protein in each build, at 1.3g of lactose per gram of milk protein, a ratio taken from Starbucks' own unsweetened milk drinks where all of the sugar is lactose.

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