I've seen candy that literally consists only of sugar, coloring, and preservatives with a big "Zero Fat!" faux sticker like the redfarm one.
Hell, in the US (and possibly other places, but of the 7 countries on 3 continents I've been to, I've only seen it in the US) they sometimes proudly announce "ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED" as if it's a humongous health benefit 🤦🏻
Tic-tacs are advertised as "sugar free" due to a legal loophole. Regardless of serving size, a product can be advertised as "sugar free" if one serving contains less than 0.5g of total sugar. One serving of tic-tacs is exactly 0.5g and contains 0.49g of sugar.
98% sugar, but is "sugar free"
They have to state, plainly, in a conspicuous place on the front of the package that it is artificially flavored. It's the law. You probably just saw that label.
