Each: Organic Cane Sugar

Organic cane sugar is a sweetener derived from sugarcane plants. It is produced by crushing sugarcane stalks to extract the juice, which is then evaporated and crystallized. The 'organic' designation means it is processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, and typically without the use of bone char for refining.

Manufacturers add organic cane sugar primarily as a sweetener to improve taste and palatability. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in many food products. It is commonly found in baked goods, beverages, sauces, and desserts.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers sugar (sucrose) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Organic cane sugar is a source of added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars and at most 10 grams per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases. JECFA has evaluated sucrose as a food ingredient.
