I collected this empty container to use for holding stuff — and looked at the advertisement (NO SUGAR) and then looked at the list of ingredients.

I can think of no other reason for this kind of fraud and deception.

Their definition of sugar needs to be up front, and clearly stated, it is narrow and misleading on purpose.

High-fructose corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn. When corn starch is broken down into individual molecules, it becomes corn syrup, which is 100% glucose, a simple sugar. Enzymes are added to convert some of this glucose into fructose.

Xanthan gum is a chain of sugar building blocks made by fermenting simple sugars with a specific kind of bacteria
