What it is
Fair Trade Organic Sugar is a type of sugar produced from sugar cane or sugar beets that has been grown and processed according to organic standards. It also meets fair trade criteria, ensuring ethical sourcing and fair compensation for farmers. The sugar is extracted, purified, and crystallized from the plant juice.
Why it's used
This ingredient is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of food products, including beverages, baked goods, and snacks. Beyond its sweetening properties, it also contributes to food texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some applications.
Health notes
Sugar, including organic sugar, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated sugars and determined an acceptable daily intake. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal, due to concerns about excessive intake contributing to health issues. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake.
