What it is
Brown sugar powder is a finely ground form of brown sugar, which is granulated white sugar with molasses added back to it. The molasses gives it its characteristic color, flavor, and moist texture. The powder form is created by milling brown sugar into a fine consistency.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add brown sugar powder primarily as a sweetener and for its distinct caramel-like flavor. It also contributes to the color of foods and can help with texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, snack foods like popcorn and pretzels, sauces, and beverages.
Health notes
Brown sugar powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a form of added sugar. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns. JECFA has evaluated sugars and determined that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) is 'not specified,' meaning there are no health concerns at levels of intake necessary to achieve a desired effect, based on current consumption patterns.
