And The Following: Organic Cane Sugar

Organic cane sugar is a type of sugar made from sugarcane plants. It is produced by crushing sugarcane stalks to extract the juice, which is then evaporated and crystallized. The "organic" label means it's grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms, following USDA organic standards.

This ingredient is primarily used as a sweetener to add flavor and energy to foods and beverages. It also helps with browning in baked goods and can act as a preservative in products like jams. It is commonly found in snacks, desserts, cereals, and many processed foods.

Cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. While sugar provides energy, consuming too much added sugar can contribute to health issues. JECFA and EFSA have not set specific acceptable daily intake limits for sugar itself, as it is considered a basic food component rather than an additive.
