Added sugars are sugars added during processing or preparation. Not every USDA record reports this field, so Feed Love marks incomplete coverage.

What added sugars means in a meal
Added sugars are distinct from naturally occurring sugars in fruit and milk. Database coverage is incomplete for some foods, so source quality matters.
On the labelFDA uses 50 g as the Daily Value. Feed Love never treats a missing added-sugar field as zero.
