What is the difference between No Sugar Added and Sugar Free?

ANSWER: No Sugar Added products have no added sugar, but there may be naturally occurring sugar in the product. For example, NESTLÉ® NESQUIK® No Sugar Added contains 3 grams of sugar in the powder, which comes from the "reduced minerals whey" ingredient, which is derived from milk. Sugar Free products have less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving.
