Sauces, Syrups & Zero

Syrups and flavour drops are in Zero Syrups & Flavour Drops, and fruit spreads, fruit in jelly or syrup, mousse and gummies are in Fruit Spreads & Jelly. Savoury sauces and sweet sauces in flavours such as vanilla, coffee, salted caramel and strawberry are in Sauces & Condiments. Dessert sauces in chocolate hazelnut and cookie flavours are listed under Nut Butters & Spreads.

EU rules state the net quantity of liquid foods as a volume and of other foods as a weight, so syrups, drops and some sweet sauces are given in ml, and packs of sauce, spread or jelly in g. Because 1 ml does not equal 1 g for most foods, compare a price per 100 ml with other liquids and a price per 100 g with other weights.

A food with sweeteners carries the words ‘with sweetener(s)’ next to its name, or ‘with sugar(s) and sweetener(s)’ if it also has added sugars. The ingredient list names each sweetener, either by name or by its E number, and the nutrition table gives the sugars per 100 g or 100 ml. Read the three together.
