What it is

Organic sugar is a sweet-tasting carbohydrate, typically sucrose, obtained from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets. To be certified organic, the plants must be grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and the sugar processed without certain chemicals or animal-derived products like bone char.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic sugar primarily as a sweetener to improve the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some products. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, cereals, and sauces.

Health notes

The FDA generally recognizes sugar as safe (GRAS). The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans 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 sugars and determined they are safe for consumption.
