What it is

Sugar is a common carbohydrate, a type of simple sugar. It is naturally found in fruits and vegetables and is commercially produced from plants like sugarcane and sugar beets. The sugar is extracted and refined from these plant sources.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar primarily as a sweetener to improve taste. It also contributes to the texture, bulk, and preservation of many foods. Sugar is widely used in beverages, baked goods, candies, desserts, and various processed foods.

Health notes

Sugar is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. When consumed in moderation, it provides energy. However, excessive intake of added sugars is linked to health concerns such as dental cavities and weight gain. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA and EFSA have both evaluated sugars.

Allergen info

Sugar is not a major allergen and is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
