The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) latest draft guidance report is opening doors for a rare alternative sweetener and it’s manufacturers.The government agency is proposing that allulose be excluded from both the ‘total’ and ‘added’ sugar declarations on nutrition labels through enforcement discretion, meaning the FDA is still considering all approaches and concerns before making final provisions. This is significant because the guidance marks the first time the FDA is allowing sugar to not be classified as sucrose on packaging.

Very interesting. I just checked for an update (a "Final Guidance" on the FDA site) and didn't fine one. I guess FDA's jury is still out, on this one.
