CERELAC contains similar amounts of carbohydrate and sugar as other infant cereals available in the UK.There are many different kinds of sugar of which sucrose or table sugar is one.There is NO ADDED SUCROSE in CERELAC except for a small quantity in the WHEAT (Stage 1) variant.Other sugars are naturally occurring in foods and have not been added. One such example is milk which contains a sugar called lactose.Lactose in milk is considered an intrinsic (or naturally occurring) sugar. However, it still contributes towards the final sugar content of CERELAC, which is one of the reasons it seems to contain a lot of sugar.The other sugars in CERELAC are derived from the glucose and fructose in the fruit added to the cereal.Finally, as the starches in the wholegrain have been pre-digested [hydrolysed] some of the naturally occurring sugars are released, making the product taste sweeter than other similar cereals.
