SUGAR-FREE TIC TACS contain the nutritional information that they contain 0 grams of sugar per serving. As you might expect.
Except that’s not the full story. In fact, Tic Tacs are almost entirely made of sugar. 94.5%, to be precise. In America, the FDA rules that any product that contains less than half a gram of sugar per serving can be classed as ‘sugar free’. And guess what? Each Tic Tac weighs around 0.49 grams. And the manufacturer, Ferrero – who also make Nutella and Ferrero Rocher – have declared that one Tic Tac is a serving. Legal loophole exploited. Tick!
