What it is
Cane refinery honey is a sweetener made from the syrup that remains after sugar crystals are removed from sugarcane juice. It is a byproduct of the sugar refining process, often darker and with a stronger flavor than refined white sugar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cane refinery honey primarily as a sweetener, adding a distinct flavor and color to baked goods and desserts. It is commonly found in products like donuts, cakes, and dessert toppings.
Health notes
Cane refinery honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to caloric intake. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sweeteners, and EFSA has also assessed various food additives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Cane refinery honey is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
