In that case, they are using synthetic sweetener instead of sugar.
Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄
toynbee@piefed.social 2 days agoSupposedly this is why tic tacs, which are almost 100% sugar, can claim to be sugar free.

If a tictac has >200 pieces in a pack, and you claim serving size is 1, then whatever it is made of has >0,5% per serving. It could be made of radioactive waste and they could put ‘a tictac cointains no radioactive waste’ on the pack. The game is rigged.

For “calories per serving”, absolutely, but nowhere on the packaging does it say Sugar Free because that’s a completely different claim that would be completely false.

If you claim a tictac is one serving you can say a tictac contains no sugar. But you’re right, it would be in a format like this image.

They don’t claim to be sugar-free, at least not the ones made of sugar. Instead, they claim to have 0g of sugar per serving. That is a critical difference.
