What it is

Cane sugar is a type of sucrose, a disaccharide, that is extracted and refined from sugarcane plants. It is produced by crushing sugarcane to extract its juice, which is then purified, concentrated, and crystallized.

Why it's used

Cane sugar is primarily used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some products. It is found in a wide variety of packaged foods, including baked goods, candies, cereals, and sauces.

Health notes

Cane sugar is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As 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 advises keeping free sugars under 10% of daily energy intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars, considering them food ingredients and have not set specific acceptable daily intake limits for sucrose. Excessive intake of added sugars, including cane sugar, is associated with various health concerns.
