   There is a distinction between added and total sugars in our products.  Total sugars are sum of added sugars and natural sugars present in the product. 

   Total Sugars in our infant cereal products are contributed from different sources. In these some sugars are coming naturally from milk (e.g. lactose), inherent fruit sugars from juices etc. as per the variant.  

   Added Sugar in our products comes from directly added sugars and small amounts as carryovers from cereal, fruits etc. 

   We transparently declare nutrient values including total sugars and added sugars on our packs as required by local food regulations.
