All of this is designed to ensure that students have quality meals and that we meet parents’ expectations, [..]

By the fall of 2027, added sugars in school meals would be limited to no more than 10% of the total calories per week for breakfasts and lunches, in addition to limites on sugar in specific products.

Either parents have no expectations at all, which isn't unlikely, or these two points are mutually exclusive. 10% of calories from added sugar is still insane. For context, I track my diet, which is by no means healthy, and I get on average about 5% of my daily calories from sugar - including both added sugar and natural sugar.

In america it’s an improvement. There are a lot of sane countries when it comes to sugar and the IS is not one.

The weasel word is 'added' sugar. If you sweeten something with naturally occurring sugars it doesn't count.

If you add sugars, even natural ones, to an item, those are added sugars.

I don't think that's what it means. Apples are sweet. You can make applesauce out of it without adding any sugar (no matter what kind of sugar) and it's still pretty sweet. Throw some ripe strawberries or something in and it's got more sweetness, but still no added sugars, just another food that happens to have naturally-occurring sugars within. You can then add more sugar (even if it was extracted from a plant with naturally-occurring sugars) to make it sweeter yet, and THAT'S where the added sugars come into play.
