Free Food Nutrition List

What does it mean when a food product says it has no sugar, but sugar is listed on the nutrition label?
Usually when I find food that claims that it is “sugar free,” I look on the nutrition label and find that it does have sugar in it. However, sugar (fructose, dextrose, glucose, corn syrup…etc) isnt listed in the ingredients. Does thIs mean the sugar on the nutrition label is reffering to natural sugar or added (processed) sugar?
It means that the sugar content is less than .5 percent, regardless of the source. Any ingredient that is .5 percent or less can be counted as “zero”, thus making it “sugar free”. “No added sugar” means just that and it can contain a good deal of “natural” sugar. Examples are “no added sugar” jams and jellies. The only sugar (which is quite a bit in some cases) comes from the fruit, not from other ingredients such as sugar, syrups, etc.
