Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Zizzi Vanilla Gelato

About 5.5g of the 6.9g counts as free sugar, or 1.4 teaspoons. Zizzi publishes total sugar only, so Boone estimates the lactose from the milk in this dessert at 1.3g per gram of protein and takes it off, because sugar naturally present in milk is not free sugar.

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