So much sugar! I shouldn’t be surprised. But I am. You note added sugars in many of the other products. How many added sugars in this blizzard?
Patrick,
Unfortunately DQ doesn’t provide a breakout of the added sugars vs natural sugars. But, there are data that points to total sugars being comprised of nearly all added sugars. Added sugars are about 90% of total carbs in Reese’s PB Cups. There’s only 1g fiber in a small Blizzard. Sugar and Corn Syrup are top 3 ingredients in the ice cream. So while there is natural sugar in milkfat, I would guess added sugars make up 80-90% of the total sugars.
Thanks for your comments!
