This delicious rooster sauce has been a staple in my fridge for the last decade or so. A glance at the label shows sugar is the second ingredient. Each 1 tsp (5 grams) serving has 1 gram of sugar. 1 gram doesn't seem like a lot, but that's 20%. For reference, Coca Cola is about 10% sugar.
I know you only need a little, but cripes. Guess I won't be eating this until I'm done with my sugar detox.
Lemon Pepper
McCormick makes an amazing tasting lemon pepper grinder. It's so tasty. But the nutrition on their website shows brown sugar as an ingredient. Why McCormick, why?
Pasta Sauce
Prego Traditional Pasta Sauce has 10.1 grams of sugar in a half-cup serving. That's ludicrous. What's more ludicrous is that CalorieCount.com gave it an A- for nutrition. A- with that much sugar in it? Are you kidding? It's the fourth ingredient after tomato paste, water, and diced tomatoes. I guarantee they could make something that tastes just as good -if not better- if they cut the sugar either way down or completely out. A half-cup of Coke has about 13 grams of sugar in it. So we may as well just start carbonating our spaghetti sauce and drinking it right out of the jar.
