The sugar in the dough shows up directly in the figures, 8.0g per 100g, alongside a real fat content from the frying, 14.5g per 100g. This entry is flagged for gluten as an allergen, and it's naturally halal and kosher. It's vegetarian but not automatically vegan, since many recipes use milk in the dough, so check what a specific batch was made with if that matters to you.
