Solution

The reasons why food manufacturers include added sugar in packaged processed food are:

  1. To give baked goods an appealing ‘browned in the oven’ appearance. Sugar caramelizes when heated, which gives baked goods a golden-brown color.
  2. Protection of frozen food against ‘freezer burn’. Sugar acts as a preservative and can help to prevent freezer burn.

So, the correct group of answer choices would be 2,3.
