100% Pure Milk Chocolate Sugar

Sugar is a common carbohydrate sweetener, typically derived from sugar cane or sugar beets. It is extracted, purified, and crystallized to produce the white granular form commonly used in foods, including milk chocolate.

Manufacturers add sugar to foods primarily for its sweet taste. In products like milk chocolate, it also contributes to texture, acts as a preservative, and enhances overall flavor. It is a key ingredient in many confectionery items, baked goods, and beverages.

Sugar is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). It provides calories and is a source of energy. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sucrose, the chemical name for common sugar, and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI), as it is considered a basic food ingredient.
