Caffè latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup Calories

Yes, it can contain naturally occurring milk sugar, even when the vanilla syrup has no added sugar. The exact amount varies with the milk and the amount used, so sugar-free syrup does not make the entire latte sugar-free.

The sweetener depends on the syrup brand; sugar-free vanilla syrups may use non-sugar sweeteners such as sucralose or stevia. There is no single standard recipe, so the ingredients differ between cafés and bottled products.
