Under updated guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, tagatose is no longer required to be declared as an added sugar on the Nutrition Facts Panel. That means:
It does not contribute to Added Sugars
It does not inflate % Daily Value for sugar
It allows formulators to deliver sugar-like functionality without the label penalty
This is not a minor technical clarification. It fundamentally changes how tagatose can be used in modern formulation.
