What it is

Liquid brown sugar is a syrup made by dissolving brown sugar in water. Brown sugar itself is refined white sugar with molasses added back, which gives it its characteristic color and caramel-like flavor. The liquid form often includes invert sugar to prevent crystallization and maintain its pourable consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add liquid brown sugar primarily as a sweetener and for its distinct flavor profile. It also helps retain moisture in products, contributing to a softer texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, sauces, and prepared foods like wraps, breads, and sandwiches.

Health notes

Liquid brown sugar is a source of added sugars in the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars, suggesting at most 10 grams per meal. As a basic food ingredient, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not basic food ingredients like sugars, in the same way.
