Brown Rice Syrup And White Grape Juice

Brown rice syrup is a sweetener made from brown rice by breaking down its starches into sugars. White grape juice is the liquid extracted from grapes, often concentrated to remove water and increase sweetness. When combined, they form a blend used as a sweetening agent.

This blend is primarily used as a sweetener in various food products. It can also contribute to texture and binding in items like snack bars, cereals, and baked goods. Manufacturers often use it in products marketed as "natural" or "less processed" alternatives to refined sugars.

Brown rice syrup and white grape juice are sources of sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Brown rice syrup may contain trace amounts of inorganic arsenic, which the FDA monitors, but typical dietary intake is generally considered safe. White grape juice, when used for sweetening, is considered an added sugar. Neither ingredient is regulated by the FDA as a food additive requiring an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) evaluation by bodies like JECFA or EFSA; they are considered food ingredients.
