The food symbols refer to the recipes and ingredients only, not to any serving suggestions. They are used even when only a small amount of an item is present, such as sugar in fish sauce, salt in tamari soy sauce, yeast in vinegar and seeds in sesame and rapeseed oils. Peanuts are classed as nuts and pine nuts as seeds. Also date syrup, honey and molasses are classed as sugars because they have a similar effect on blood sugar levels to sugar, but the sugar symbol isn’t used used for wine, as the varieties vary so significantly. Check the manufacturer’s labelling carefully before using any food or drink, since the ingredients used by different brands do vary, especially regarding small quantities of ingredients such as salt, sugar or oil, although be aware that manufacturers are not required to detail minuscule quantities of ingredients.
