Boycie Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I believe i am looking at the right Thai word for Sugar in food and drinks น้ำตาล But i have found on a few items that say 'Zero Sugar' or 'Sugar Free' that they do contain น้ำตาล in their contents listing. Am i reading it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Is it that they contain น้ำตาลเทียม? It's a general term for sweetener. Probably best if you post a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have posted 4 pictures. I can see them above, can anyone else see/not see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjoop Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Can see the pictures and am no expert but the protein stuff says no sugar ADDED the listing states 10g of sugar. The sprite can mentions 31 g of sugar. Perhaps the expression "sugar free" has almost become part of the Thai language so then the left picture would read: NOT "sugar free" but am just speculating here. It also contains 130 kcal that seems normal for sugary drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgeezer Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sprite says 'ไม่ Sugar free' ! When I 'blow up' the 'meiji' I can't read it but I expect that the mixture of languages has a similar effect.

rwill Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 the sprite can says 'not' in thai before sugar free. Very confusing. Since as mentioned above it has 31 grams of sugar. Also when a product says 'no sugar added' it can still have sugar that is naturally present in the other ingredients, thus not totally sugar free.

Aatsi Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hard to understand why in Thailand have only all content info just in Thai language but if the item is imported and there is content details in English in Thailand they fastening them own thai language sticker top of the English language details or other language content details also the sticker not removed easy and rip and broken if try look details under sticker. I interested to know sugar and grains caontents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterme Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 There’s 10 grams of carbohydrates (คาร์โบไฮเดรต) in that First one, 32 in the sprite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. The top of the column says "percent of recommended daily allowance." For the Meiji, it's 3%, for the Sprite, 11%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
