added sugars question

Hi Jeff!
Happy New Year! Best wishes of the new year to you and yours!
Thanks for the update on the new nutrition labels!
My wife has a hankering for raisin bran, We were looking at ezekiel raisin bran and thought we'd calculate the percent from sugars:

Calories per serving: 190. 10% of 190 = 19. Half of that is 9.5. So, say our limit of calories from sugar is 10.
8g sugar x 4 calories per gram = 32. 32 > 10. Apparently it doesn't meet the guideline.
(32 calories / 190 calories = 17% calories from sugar.)
However, the ingredients does not list any sugars. We presume that the sugar comes from the raisins. Are the raisins considered "added sugars?" Should I buy some to satisfy my wife's craving?
Thanks!
Marty
