What the source says

The terms “no added sugar,” “without added sugar,” or “no sugar added” may be used only if: ( i ) No amount of sugars, as defined in <https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/section-101.9#p-101.9(c)(6)(ii)> § 101.9(c)(6)(ii) , or any other ingredient that contains sugars that functionally substitute for added sugars is added during processing or packaging; and ( ii ) The product does not contain an ingredient containing added sugars such as jam, jelly, or concentrated fruit juice; and ( iii ) The sugars content has not been increased above the amount present in the ingredients by some means such as the use of enzymes, except where the intended functional effect of the process is not to increase the sugars content of a food, and a functionally insignificant increase in sugars results; and ( iv ) The food that it resembles and for which it substitutes normally contains added sugars; and ( v ) The product bears a statement that the food is not “low calorie” or “calorie reduced” (unless the food meets the requirements for a “low” or “reduced calorie” food) and that directs consumers' attention to the nutrition panel for further information on sugar and calorie content.
