What it is

Sugar, specifically sucrose, is a common carbohydrate that provides a sweet taste. It is typically extracted and refined from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

Sugar is widely used in food manufacturing as a sweetener to improve taste. It also contributes to texture, acts as a preservative in some products, and helps with browning in baked goods. It is found in a vast array of processed foods, including baked goods, beverages, candies, and desserts.

Health notes

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While it provides energy, consuming too much added sugar is associated with negative health outcomes. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars, noting their role in diet.

Allergen info

Sugar is not considered a major food allergen.
