What it is

Liquid sugar is a solution of sugar (sucrose) dissolved in water. It is a common form of sugar used in food manufacturing, offering convenience and consistent sweetness.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add liquid sugar primarily as a sweetener. It also contributes to the texture and volume of food products, appearing in items like ice cream, chewing gum, and flavored milk.

Health notes

Sugar (sucrose), the main component of liquid sugar, is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. 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 keeping intake of free sugars below 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and set an acceptable daily intake. High intake of added sugars, including liquid sugar, is associated with an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
