In 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made updates to the Nutrition Facts Label, including listing added sugars to help you know how much you are consuming. In 2019, FDA issued final guidance to provide clarity on the labeling of added sugars for single-ingredient packages or containers of pure honey, maple syrup and other single ingredient sugars and syrups, as these foods are natural sweeteners and don’t have sugar added to them. Single-ingredient products, such as pure maple syrup are not required to declare the number of grams of added sugars in a serving of the product on the Nutrition Facts label, but must still include the percent Daily Value (DV) for added sugars. The FDA also permits the use of the “†” symbol immediately following the added sugars percent DV declaration, which leads to a footnote at the bottom of the Nutrition Facts label explaining the amount of sugar that one serving of the product contributes to the diet.
