Those urine strips will work on soft drinks in the US because they are not
made with sugar but with high fructose corn syrup. They will not work on
sugar. I don't know of a way to test foods, but I also don't know why you'd
want to. Is there a reason you are avoiding sugar? Diabetics are no longer
advised to avoid it. We must watch our carbs, and yes, sugar is a carb.
But a little sugar in a food isn't going to have much impact.
