Total Sugars
The Vanilla Frosty has a significant amount of total sugars, comprised of natural sugars in the milk as well as the sugars added during processing.
One small serving of Wendy’s Frosty contains 42 grams of total sugars.
Added Sugars
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which manages the MyPlate program aimed at educating Americans about healthy eating, states the importance of cutting back on Added Sugars.
Unlike many other fast food restaurants, Wendy’s does not currently report a breakout of Added Sugars. However, Sugar and Corn Syrup are two of the top three ingredients. Both are considered added sugars.
While there are natural sugars in milk, it’s likely that the majority of the 42g total sugars in a small serving of the Frosty are added sugars.
Added Sugars used during the production of commercially processed foods may include fructose, maple syrup, cane juice, corn syrup, dextrose, and other sweeteners such as table sugar.

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.
