What it is

Cane sugar syrup is a liquid sweetener made from sugarcane. It is produced by extracting juice from sugarcane stalks, which is then purified and concentrated to form a viscous syrup.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cane sugar syrup primarily as a sweetener in a wide range of products. It also helps with moisture retention, texture, and browning. It is commonly found in candies, baked goods, beverages, and processed fruits.

Health notes

Cane sugar syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of added sugars, it provides calories and contributes to the overall sugar content of foods. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars as food ingredients and has not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified) for sugars like sucrose, which is the main component of cane sugar syrup, as they are considered fundamental nutrients.
