Blend Of Sugar & Honey

A blend of sugar and honey combines two common sweeteners. Sugar, often sucrose, is typically extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets. Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers.

This blend is primarily used as a sweetener, contributing both sweetness and a distinct flavor profile from the honey component. It can also help retain moisture in food products. It appears in a variety of foods, including processed meats, baked goods, and sauces.

Both sugar and honey are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As sources of added sugars, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise no recommended amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set an acceptable daily intake. Overconsumption of added sugars is a public health concern, but moderate intake as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe.
