Does Arla Skyr plain low-fat have added sugar?

What is Arla Skyr plain low-fat?
Arla Skyr’s plain, low-fat variety is a cultured dairy product inspired by skyr, Iceland’s thick, strained traditional dairy food. It has a smooth, dense texture and a clean, mildly tangy taste, often compared with thick yogurt, though skyr is made using its own culture and draining method.
In Iceland it is commonly eaten at breakfast or as a snack, plain or topped with fruit, oats or a little honey; elsewhere it also works well in a quick breakfast bowl or alongside granola. With 11 g of protein and 0.2 g of fat per 100 g, it is a high-protein, low-fat choice. Add nuts or fruit for texture, or use it in place of a richer yogurt in dips and sauces.
