What it is
Cherry powder is made from dried and ground cherries. Cane sugar is a sweetener extracted from sugarcane plants. This ingredient is a blend of these two components.
Why it's used
In packaged foods like sausages and hotdogs, this blend often serves multiple purposes. Cherry powder can act as a natural source of nitrates, which function as a preservative and help maintain the color of cured meats. Cane sugar adds sweetness and can balance flavors.
Health notes
Both cherry powder and cane sugar are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately. The cherry powder component, when used as a nitrate source, is regulated by the FDA for its role in food preservation. High intake of added sugars, such as cane sugar, is not recommended by the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which advise consuming no amount of added sugars and at most 10 grams per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises keeping free sugars under 10% of total energy intake.
