I have not read the actual nutritional label in question. But the labels in this thread list "sugars", not "added sugars". Sugars in this column do not necessarily refer to added sugars. You said: "When the label (nutrition side, not ingredient side) says "added sugars" that means processed sugars have been added in addition to any natural sugars that may already be there." IN none of the labels on this thread, and there are quite a few, is there any reference to "added sugars". Just "sugars". Which can be added, or natural.

You are correct. I did not see an original label from the time period the lady claims she consumed them when I went searching, and I was using the only label I could currently find, which was direct from Jelly Belly's website. I also mentioned prior, that this may not be the same as what she saw when she was using the product, which turns out to be the case.

That has now been presented on the thread. Her claim that the label didn't show there was sugar in the product is still disingenuous. The nutrition side clearly states there are Carbs and lists the number of carbs that are "sugars." If, by reading all other information, she was still confused, the simple fact that the nutrition side lists sugars specifically, as a portion of the total carbs, should give even this most obtuse of morons the idea that there is sugar in some form within the product.

Please note, her lawsuit specifically states the label didn't say "sugar", not that it didn't distinguish between natural or processed sugars. By her own lawsuit, she shouldn't win, as the nutrition side of the label clearly shows "sugars", whether those sugars were natural or processed is not pertinent to her claim.

See the link in my post #14. It clearly shows that for this particular product, there are added sugars now. It is the new label, likely as a result of the 2014 recommendation by the FDA (also noted in my post 14), and not the one given when she was using the product.

I still stand by the statement that she claims sugar was not shown, when it clearly is on the nutrition side, and her lawsuit does not distinguish between natural or processed sugar, but the fact that the label didn't say the product contained sugar. The nutrition side clearly states it does.
