Added Sugar in new Huel

Let me explain the reason for this…

We don’t ‘add’ any sugar to Huel Powder. This is where sugar is present in some of the compound ingredients (vit blend, MCT powder, flavor system) in tiny amounts. As these are effectively ‘added’ to the recipe, they have to be labelled as ‘Added Sugar’ even though it’s not sucrose sugar. This is US labeling regulations.

Also US labeling regulations require rounding of amounts to the nearest whole number. The actual amount is just 0.54g per serving and 2.67g per 2,000kcal (less in Unflavored & Unsweetened).

Is this really an issue? If you feel it is, do note the GI of Huel is low.
