Common mistakes
-
Assuming a small serving means it’s low in sugar
Jumbo lists 4.7 g of sugars per 6 g serving for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g, but also 79 g of sugars per 100 g. The serving size doesn’t change the nutritional value per 100 g.
Use the serving information to check how much you sprinkle on, and the value per 100 g to compare products. Consider any claim about reduced sugar separately.

Focusing on how you’ll use it but overlooking the allergens
