The above video references 56 names of sugar. We have now identified 262 names for Added Sugar. The Added Sugar Repository (ASR) was initially developed by the Eradicate Childhood Obesity Foundation (EChO), in collaboration with an innovative start-up called Perfact, to serve as a public reference for the different names of added sugar used in the U.S. food industry. This list of sugars extends beyond the information provided by the FDA and includes identified names and specific examples of U.S. food products for each added sugar.
