Total Sugars
One serving contains 24 grams of total sugars. That’s a fairly high amount of sugars for a single menu item.
Sugars are naturally present in certain whole foods such as milk and fruit. By comparison, added sugars are those that are added to foods during processing.
The FDA does not report a daily value for natural sugars. For that reason, there is not a % Daily Value for Total Sugars (natural plus added sugars).
Added Sugars
Unfortunately, Chick-fil-A’s publicly-available nutrition information does not break out the Added Sugars from the Natural Sugars.
However, the fast food restaurant does provide a list of ingredients and sugar is one of the top three ingredients. That’s an added sugar.
For a point of comparison only, check McDonald’s Vanilla Cone, which has a similar quantity of total sugars. McD’s vanilla cone has 23 grams of total sugars, including 17 grams of Added Sugars (a 30% daily value for Added Sugars).
