Pakaged frozen vegetables contain refined-added sugar?

Question

Do the packaged and frozen vegetables contain added refined sugar or are they just natural sugar. I am talking about brands like Green Giant, Freshlike-the "frozen ones"-corn, broccoli and peas and others. I need to know because i am supposed to stay off of added "REFINED" sugar. Thanks

Answer 1

Read the ingredient label is all I can say.  The frozen veggies and fruit that I get have no added anything, I make sure of that.

Answer 2

Additives such as salt and sugar should be on the label.  If it says "sugar" on the label, it's refined sugar.

Answer 3

None of the ones I buy have added sugar unless maybe you buy the veggies in sauce.

Answer 4

Read the ingredient line.  Good advice for anyone anytime.  If they are just frozen vegetable they should just have maybe a little brine with them and nothing else.

If they have a sauce with them then the ingredient line will tell you the components.  I worked for a frozen vegetable manufacturer and the bagged vegetable did not have anything added to them except a little salt water during the blanch.
