What it is

Cane syrups are liquid sweeteners made from sugarcane. They are a byproduct of the sugar refining process, containing molasses, which gives them their characteristic color and flavor. Different types of cane syrup exist, varying in color and taste depending on how much molasses is present.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cane syrups primarily as sweeteners and to add moisture and color to baked goods. They are common in cakes, cookies, pastries, and breakfast cereals. Their distinct flavor also contributes to the taste profile of these products.

Health notes

Cane syrups are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as sweeteners. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. JECFA has evaluated sugars and sweeteners, and EFSA has also reviewed them. Evidence regarding the health effects of added sugars is extensive, with organizations like the WHO recommending limiting intake.

Allergen info

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