Many canned fruits used to be available in Heavy Syrup, Light Syrup or Water. Now, even those packed in water use water that has been sweetened with sugar. Those purchasers who opt for 'packed in water' in an attempt to avoid sugar have to read the label very, very carefully.
I might add that the Packed in Water is in quite large type on the front of the can but the fact that the water is now "sugar added" has to be discerned from the much smaller type at the back of the can.
