How can there be “additional sugars” if it’s not part of the ingredients?

Bought raw organic honey from Trader Joe’s. I notice the ingredients only list honey, but if you look at the nutrition facts it says: Total Sugars 17g (Incl. 17g Added Sugars). What does this mean?

Answer

It’s a well intentioned but somewhat silly decision the FDA made a few years ago. Certain products that basically are sugar, need to be listed as added sugar.
