What it is

Cane mill molasses is a thick, dark syrup produced during the refining of sugarcane into sugar. It is a byproduct of the sugar-making process, containing residual sugars and minerals from the sugarcane plant.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cane mill molasses primarily as a sweetener and coloring agent. Its rich, slightly bitter flavor adds depth to baked goods, sauces, and marinades. It is commonly found in barbecue sauces, baked beans, and some baked goods.

Health notes

Cane mill molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains some minerals like iron and calcium, but typically in amounts too small to significantly impact nutrient intake at normal consumption levels. JECFA has evaluated molasses and established a group ADI for sugars and sweeteners.

Allergen info

Cane mill molasses is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
