If the label contains sugar, it was added and not inclusive of other whole ingredients. You can buy canned apples (ingredients :apples) and canned apples (ingredients :water, sugar, apples). Guess which costs more.

The nutrition label will tell you if it contains sugar even though none was added.

If the ingredient list contains sugar, it was added.

Why would you buy canned apples without sugar or vinegar as conservatives in the first place?

The pure apple in a can can't last for long.

I hate to be the pedant, but I think you meant preservatives. I kept imagining Mitt Romney in a tub with sliced apples and it was unnerving to say the least
Sorry didn't mean to make your imagination run wild :/
In many European languages preservative is the word for condom.
