5 Foods surprisingly loaded with sugar

Sneaky sugar foods

We already know that cakes, jam and fruit juices contain sugar. But what most of us don't realise, is that a lot of other foods contain it too. Things we may consider healthier, containing less fat, for example. Or savoury products.

The truth is, sugar is sneakily added to a ton of unexpected foods. So if you're serious about limiting the amount of sugar you eat, be on the lookout for these sugar-laden foods:

Foods containing sugar

1. Bottled tomato pasta sauces.

2. Most fat-free or low-fat products.

3. Packaged store-bought bread.

4. Salad dressings.

5. BBQ sauce.

6. Pretzels and crisps.

In low-fat or fat-free products, sugar is added to enhance the flavour to make up for the fat that's been removed.
