Nutritional and Ingredient Considerations

While the exact ingredients cannot be confirmed without the product’s full label, products with "zero added sugars" often rely on:

1. Natural Fruit Sweetness: Plums (ameixa) may contribute some natural sugars, but their sweetness is usually mild.
2. Alternative Sweeteners: Common in sugar-free products include:
   • Stevia (plant-based, zero-calorie).
   • Erythritol (sugar alcohol, low-calorie, but may cause digestive issues in excess).
   • Monk Fruit (natural, no calories).
   • Xylitol (another sugar alcohol, toxic to dogs).
   • Artificial Sweeteners (e.g., sucralose, aspartame) – less likely in gourmet brands but possible.
