It does have a lot of sugar in it.

According to the website, Light Sweetened Condensed milk contains (per 50g serving) :-

139 calories (7% gda)
29.8g sugar (33% gda)

Evaporated Milk would be a better option :-

81 calories (4% gda)
6.2g sugar (7% gda)

Andy

p.s. Note that the labelling doesn't clearly say "sweetened", but that's what the website calls it!

There's probably more sugar in the pear halves (do they come in syrup?)

Okey dokey! I'll leave it to the insulin controlled guys and gals to answer now!

Andy 🙂

p.s. But it sounds OK to me.

I'm just too honest for my own good! I could have been labelled a "kind sir"!
