 Should be listed in percentage under carbs section, but also look on the ingredient list of anything than ends in "-ol" will be a sugar alcohol. It may have sucralose (splenda) as sweetner....

Usually they are listed on the label right under sugar:

Total carbs     15
fiber                    3
sugar                 0
sugar alcohol   5

But look for ingredients that end in -ol  sorbitol, etc.

You need to count sugar, not sugar alcohols...but you need to watch the intake of the SA's, because they will make you sick in a high dose...I can eat sugar, but the SA's floor me.
