Cinnamon Brown Sugar Seasoning

Cinnamon brown sugar seasoning is a blend of ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Cinnamon comes from the bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family, while brown sugar is refined sugar with molasses added back or left in during processing. These ingredients are combined to create a sweet and spicy flavor profile.

Manufacturers add this seasoning blend to provide a sweet, warm, and aromatic flavor to various foods. It is commonly found in snack foods such as chips, pretzels, and puffed snacks, as well as in baked goods and other desserts.

Both cinnamon and brown sugar are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Brown sugar contributes to added sugars in the diet; 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 cinnamon and sugar as food ingredients, and they are widely consumed around the world. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of this seasoning blend at typical intake levels, beyond general dietary advice concerning sugar consumption.
