it's no surprise that you find plenty of sugar in products like cake mix, ice cream, jelly, cookies, and soda. But it can be shocking to see 12 grams of sugar in bottled pasta sauce or barbecue sauce -- and even more so to find 50 grams of sugar in a healthy-sounding bottled tea!

One thing’s for sure: Just because there’s a nutrition-oriented statement on the package (like "contains whole grain," "excellent source of calcium," "fat-free," "100% juice" or "25% less sugar" doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain a shocking amount of sugar. And just because the brand name or product name sounds like it’s good for weight loss, don’t assume the food is lower in sugar.

Here are some of the foods found to be surprisingly high in sugar.

1. Canned or Packaged Fruit

2. Pudding & Pudding Cups

3. Snack Cakes & Pies

4. Muffin Mixes

5. Prepared Muffins

6. Breakfast Cereal

7. Bottled Spaghetti Sauce

8. Barbecue Sauce

9. Beverages

10. Yogurt

11. Frozen Desserts
