In reality there is no recommended sugar intake. We can do perfectly well with zero grams of sugar every single day for a whole life, without it causing a single health issue.
So the label remains nonsense.
There is a recommended intake of vegetables and fruit, but not for sugar. Not by any factual based health measure.

This is exactly why, for many years, there was no percentage on the label. They were concerned that people would try to get it to 100%.
Fast forward a few decades, and it’s extremely rare to find Americans consuming that little sugar, so the concern was no longer valid.
