Suikerloos

Suikerloos is a Dutch word that translates to "sugar-free" in English. It is commonly used to describe food products or beverages that do not contain added sugars or natural sugars. This designation is often sought by individuals managing their sugar intake for health reasons, such as those with diabetes or who are following specific dietary plans.

Products labeled "suikerloos" typically use artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes to achieve a sweet taste without the caloric or metabolic impact of traditional sugar. These substitutes can include a variety of compounds, each with its own characteristics and regulatory approvals. The presence of "suikerloos" on a label indicates a conscious effort by the manufacturer to provide an alternative for consumers seeking to reduce their sugar consumption.

The term is not always synonymous with "calorie-free" or "carbohydrate-free," as some sugar substitutes may still contain a small number of calories or carbohydrates. However, the primary intention of "suikerloos" is the absence of added sugars. Regulations regarding the precise definition and labeling of "suikerloos" products can vary by region and country.
