All sugar variants can be found in the ingredients taxonomy. The ingredient list is parsed using this taxonomy. There are OFF-clients that allow you to see these parse results and can be used as a warning trigger. However this is all very recent and still work in progress.

Anyway this in general a question of providing the user with warnings based on the existence of some trigger. So it is a general functionality, which could be offered by any OFF-client.
