Abstract
The poster presents results tabled from a study whose aim was to evaluate the different forms of added sugars and non-caloric sweeteners displayed in the list of ingredients of ultra-processed food products. It compares the amounts of these ingredients against current recommendations of the World Health Organization. There is tremendous variation in the nomenclature of added sugars and sweeteners that may contribute to consumer confusion.
