Zero sucrose "refers to food without added sucrose, but may contain other types of sugars such as glucose, fructose, maltose, etc.
According to the national food safety standard "General Principles for Nutritional Labeling of Prepackaged Foods" (GB 28050-2011), "sugar free" refers to a sugar content of no more than 0.5 grams per 100 grams or 100 milliliters of solid or liquid food. The term 'sugar' here includes both monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, as well as disaccharides such as sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.
At present, many products in the market are labeled with "0 sucrose" to attract consumers, but in fact, even if the product is labeled with "0 sucrose", it may contain other types of sugar, and its true sugar content may not be low at all.
In short, '0 sucrose' does not equate to no sugar. Consumers must carefully read food labels and ingredient lists when purchasing food to understand the true sugar content of the product, in order to make more informed choices.
