Does evaporated cane juice count?
Yes. It is a label name for a cane sweetener, so it matches this entry rather than slipping past the word sugar.
Added refined sugars

Sugar the label identifies as cane sugar, cane juice, or evaporated cane juice.

What the label is naming
Cane sugar is sucrose from sugar cane. Evaporated cane juice and cane juice are older or marketing label names for cane sweeteners, so they share this entry. The longer phrase wins over the generic word sugar. Beet sugar stays with the generic sugar entry unless the label says cane.
Where it hides
Yogurt, granola, ketchup marketed as cane-sweetened, and bakery bread. Organic cane sugar is still cane sugar for a refined-sugar avoid list.
