I emailed them and gave them cr*ap over it; here is the response from the Kraft Consumer Relations Online Team (make of it what you will):
" Thank you for visiting http://www.kraftfoods.com/.
The claim "sugar free" has a specific definition set by government labeling regulations. To claim "sugar free" a product must meet this definition: "Sugar free" foods have less than 0.5 gram of sugar per serving.
Serving sizes are now based on government rules; the claim is based on the "as packaged" form of the food. The "sugar free" claim refers to ALL sugars including added sugars such as sucrose (table sugar), and naturally occurring sugars (fructose, lactose, etc.).
Although a product has been specially formulated to be sugar free, it is not necessarily a reduced calorie food; therefore, we are required by regulation to declare "not for weight control" adjacent to the "Sugar Free" claim on items that are not also reduced in calories.
Thank you for contacting us and please add our site to your favourites and visit us again soon! " NOT!
I really really really hate canned responses that don't directly answer the question asked, don't you?
