Sugar-Free

Enjoy sugar-free – without compromise

Living sugar-free does not mean giving up sweets. In this category, you will find foods, candies, and beverages that contain no added household sugar – sweetened with sugar substitutes like Erythrit, Xylit, Maltit, or Stevia. From chocolate to cookies to syrup and fruit spreads: indulge with a clear conscience.

What does "sugar-free" actually mean?

The terms are legally regulated: A food can be labeled as sugar-free if it contains a maximum of 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g or 100 ml. No added sugar means that no sugars or sweetening foods have been added – naturally occurring sugars (such as fructose in dried fruits) may be present. At zukono, we transparently indicate the type of sweetener used in each product, including a complete list of ingredients and nutritional values.
