The FDA requires that any food labeled "sugar free" must state that it
is not for weight control, unless it meets additional calorie
requirements.

The following quote is from the International Food Information Council website.
"Unless the food meets other requirements for low or reduced calorie
products, "sugar-free," "no added sugar" or similarly labeled foods
must feature another statement. The label must also state the product
is not a reduced or low calorie food, or it is not for weight
control."

quote was taken, visit the International Food Information Council page
