Of food or drink: no sugar (or other sweetener) has been added. You see it on labels and menus — unsweetened tea, unsweetened yoghurt, unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened apple sauce.

Of food or drink用在食物或飲料上 no sugar (or other sweetener) has been added沒有加糖（或其他甜味劑） You see it on labels and menus常會在標籤和菜單上看到 unsweetened tea無糖茶 unsweetened yoghurt無糖優格 unsweetened soy milk無糖豆漿 unsweetened almond milk無糖杏仁奶 unsweetened cocoa powder無糖可可粉 unsweetened apple sauce無糖蘋果醬。

The important thing is that unsweetened is about what someone ADDED, not about how the thing tastes. Unsweetened apple juice still tastes sweet, because the sweetness was already in the apple; nobody put sugar in.

The important thing is重點是 that unsweetened is about what someone ADDEDunsweetened 講的是有沒有人「加」東西進去 not about how the thing tastes不是東西嚐起來甜不甜 Unsweetened apple juice still tastes sweet無糖蘋果汁嚐起來還是甜的 because the sweetness was already in the apple因為甜味本來就在蘋果裡 nobody put sugar in沒有人加糖進去。

So unsweetened is not the same as "not sweet", and it is not the same as "sugar-free" or "無糖" in the strict sense either — a sugar-free drink usually has an artificial sweetener in it, while an unsweetened one has nothing added at all. That difference matters when you read a label.
