Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Zizzi Non-Gluten Bolognese

Boone counts all 8.3g as free sugar, or 2.1 teaspoons. Zizzi publishes total sugar only, with no split between added and naturally occurring sugar. Some of it may occur naturally in ingredients such as tomatoes, vegetables or dairy, which does not count as free sugar, so this figure may overstate free sugar.

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