Approximately 850 food products analysed for sugar content by the USDA nutrient data laboratory (2007) can be found in the following links.
The estimate of the total sugar content is based on the sum of monosaccharides (galactose, glucose, and fructose), and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The food items are organized in the order of high to low sugar content.
