A couple weeks ago I started paying closer attention to food labels closely scrutinizing foods claiming to be 100% sugar free. My skepticism paid off today examining the nutritional information on Tic Tacs. I photographed the packaging and nutrition label. Tic Tacs the one calorie breath mint. Misprint or false advertising?
Look at the nutrition label at Sugar and Carbohydrates. Now look at ingredients. The first ingredient is sugar.
Rice Starch is a carb and fructose is sugar. Perhaps the sugar is insignificant in a few Tics Tacs but what is the actual amount of sugar in the box? For someone struggling with diabetes it could mean something.
