Chili Sweet Thai Sugar 46.0

Chili Sweet Thai Sugar is a flavored sugar product that combines the sweetness of sugar with the distinct savory and spicy notes typical of Thai sweet chili. The sugar is usually derived from sugar cane or sugar beets, and it is blended with ingredients like chili peppers, garlic, and other spices to create its unique flavor profile.

This ingredient is primarily used to add both sweetness and a specific savory-spicy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in Asian-inspired dishes, marinades, glazes, and sauces, such as those used for teriyaki, stir-fries, or as dipping sauces.

Sugar, the main component, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA advises limiting added sugars as part of a healthy diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total daily energy intake. JECFA (the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) and EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority) have evaluated sugar as a food component, and while they acknowledge its role in diet, they do not set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) as it is a macronutrient.
