Fine in a portion — worth keeping an eye on.
Tomato Juice carries roughly 8 g of sugar per 1 cup, which works out to about 3.3 g per 100 g. That places it in the 'moderate' band for a typical serving.
Because this sugar occurs naturally in the food itself, it typically comes packaged with fibre, water, or other nutrients that slow how fast it hits your bloodstream — unlike the same amount of sugar added to a processed product.
