SUMMARY OF TOTAL SUGARS PER SERVING
At this time, Wendy’s does not provide a breakout between Natural Sugars vs. Added Sugars. However, note that Sugar is listed as the second ingredient. The Frosty also contains molasses and high fructose corn syrup, both of which are considered added sugars.
That’s significant because regulations require food processors to list ingredients in order of dominance by weight. That said, milk (the first ingredient) does contain natural sugars (lactose). Natural sugars are reported in “total sugars.”
To put all of this into context, the FDA recommends that American adults limit the amount of Added Sugars to 50 grams per day (based on a diet of 2,000 calories).

What is Annatto Extract?
Annatto is an orange/red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. The additive is primarily used in foods for its coloring properties, creating a yellow or orange product.
The achiote tree is indigenous to Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The seeds contain compounds called carotenoids, which provide the vibrant color.
Annatto is often used to develop a yellow color in butter, margarine, and cheeses. As a condiment, Annatto is used for its nutty, peppery aroma.
