The label says 'no added sugar' — does that mean this pastille is sugar-free? — Apple pastila with coffee, cinnamon, and mint 800 grams

No, it is not sugar-free. The product is made from apple purée without added sugar, so the sweetness comes from the fruit itself. Apples naturally contain fruit sugars, and those sugars remain in the pastille. That means the snack still provides sweetness and naturally occurring sugars, even though no sugar was added during production.

If you are choosing foods with no added sugar, it is worth checking whether this style of sweetness matches your preference. The taste is fruit-forward, with coffee, cinnamon and mint adding a more grown-up profile, but the base is still apple-based. For exact sugar and energy values, check the nutrition table on the package, because the amount can vary depending on the apples used and the processing.

This product may be chosen as part of a daily diet, but it is not a substitute for a balanced diet or for fresh fruit. If you are sensitive to specific flavourings or preservatives, review the ingredient list before eating.
