Health notes
Sugar, including confectionery coating sugar, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The primary health consideration for sugar relates to its contribution to total caloric intake and 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 sugars and considers them safe, typically not setting a specific acceptable daily intake (ADI) due to their role as macronutrients.
