What it is

Made From Sugar" is a general descriptive term indicating that a food component is derived from or primarily composed of sugar. Sugars are simple carbohydrates, naturally present in many plants, fruits, and vegetables, and are extracted from sources like sugar cane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar-based ingredients primarily for their sweetening properties and to enhance flavor. In processed meats and snacks, they can also contribute to browning, texture, and act as a curing agent or preservative in specific applications.

Health notes

FDA recognizes sugars as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and advise consuming at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases. JECFA has evaluated various sugars and typically does not set a numeric acceptable daily intake for common sugars when consumed as part of a normal diet.
