Q: Is maple candy or honey taffy made from only one ingredient labeled the same as other single-ingredient sugar products?
A: Yes. The FDA has confirmed that when labeling a single-ingredient sugar candy (only contains one ingredient and that ingredient is a sugar ingredient), the single-ingredient sugar labeling option can be used. In this case, %DV is shown followed by an optional footnote that includes the gram amount of sugar added to the diet by one serving of the product and its contribution to the %DV for added sugars. We have a cheat sheet that goes over the new label requirements for Added Sugars. Download the cheat sheet here.
