All asian food has too much sugar. I stopped eating it mostly. Don't even have sugar in my kitchen.

>5g serving size
>0g (<1g) sugar
>30% sugar
something's not adding up here

Mmm spicy ketchup

thats such horseshit. it could be 24% sugar, but they are allowed to put it as 0 sugar.

>>17351519
"0g" can legally be up to and including 0.5g
Note also the deliberate use of one single teaspoon as a serving size.

>>17351709
Yes, but that would make Sriacha at most 10% sugar by mass.

>it could be 24% sugar
24% of 5g is 1.2g. that would have to be labelled as 1g. see >>17351727

>>17350617
American labeling is retarded. Imagine not having nutritional information per 100 g. At that point why not just define serving size of literally everything as 0.5 g so you can say that everything is 0 calorie because of rounding.

Who the fuck is eating 100g of sriracha?

>>17351877

>24% of 5g is <1g

It's 10% bros

>>17351877
It's for ratios Amerifuck. I could just define the portion size for butter as one gram and round down the 82% fat to 0 grams to get zero calorie butter, which is obviously retarded

>>17350604
Try the one from the asian store, those have less sugar in them.

>>17350604
>30% sugar
jesus christ

>>17351873
This is how most 0-cal soft drinks work. Coke zero has different formulas in the US and in Europe to dodge the different rounding rules.

it's not like you're drinking the entire bottle in one sitting, right? just a few squirts on your food
