What it is

This ingredient refers to a combination of milk and sugar. Milk is typically sourced from dairy animals, while sugar is derived from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets. The two are combined, often with heating, to create sweetened dairy products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add milk and sugar for sweetening, flavor, and to improve texture. Sugar also acts as a preservative. This combination is commonly found in dairy products, desserts, confectionery, and baked goods.

Health notes

Both milk and sugar are common food ingredients, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. They also advise keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories. The World Health Organization advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA and EFSA evaluate specific food additives; milk and sugar are broad food categories and not typically evaluated as single additives for an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). Consuming foods high in added sugars and saturated fats, which can be present in milk and sugar combinations, should be done in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
