Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Zizzi Pasta Crisps

Boone counts all 3.7g as free sugar, or 0.9 teaspoons. Zizzi publishes total sugar only, with no split between added and naturally occurring sugar.

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