@jeder@ielenia@CenTdemeern1 yeah, in the UK tic-tacs are legally not sugar free because they need to state their contents per 100 g or 100 ml. Since they’re mostly sugar, that means there’s like 95 g of sugar per 100 g of tic-tacs.
In the UK (and I presume EU) for anything to be sugar-free, it needs to have maximum 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g or 100 ml
This loophole only exists in the USA because of the way that they measure food content
@yassie_j@ielenia@CenTdemeern1@jeder I mean,, the UK used to be part of the EU... the standards were established together. That the UK didn't suddenly come up with new standards after leaving makes sense lol
@siblingsofthevoid@ielenia@CenTdemeern1@jeder yeah, but I don’t want to just start assuming some shit lol, Brexit has made it difficult to know where the UK has or hasn’t diverged from the EU lol
