Summary edit

Description
English: Averages (%) of foods containing appropriate sugars levels (to limit sugars intake) based on the proposed method in food groups. All low sugar and sugar free foods, excluding low sugar and sugar free baby foods, are based on the reference energy intake of 2,000 kcal for adults and children aged 4 years and older. Low sugar and sugar free baby foods are based on the reference energy intake of 1,000 kcal for children 1 through 3 years of age.

About 69.3% of foods contained sugars. On the basis of the proposed method, the averages (%) of sugar free and low sugar foods in food groups were 42.14% and 73.46%, respectively. Beef products with 100%, cereal grains and pasta with 100%, finfish and shellfish products with 100%, lamb, veal, and game products with 100%, pork products with 100%, poultry products with 100%, sausages and luncheon meats with 100%, fats and oils with 97.92%, spices and herbs with 97.62%, nut and seed products with 91.67%, and vegetables and vegetable products with 89.18% had the highest averages (%) of low sugar foods. In contrast, fruits and fruit juices with 9.12%, sweets with 12.01%, baby foods with 27.93%, breakfast cereals with 28.9%, beverages with 39.27%, baked products with 48.34%, and snacks with 56.69% had the lowest averages (%) of low sugar foods. Most foods containing inappropriate sugars levels were allocated to foods containing added sugars.
