What it is

Natural cane juice is a sweetener made from the juice of sugarcane. It is typically unrefined or minimally refined, retaining some of the natural molasses content from the sugarcane. This gives it a light brown color and a mild caramel flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural cane juice primarily as a sweetener, similar to granulated sugar. Its mild flavor and color make it suitable for a variety of products where a less processed sweetener is desired. It is often found in baked goods, granola bars, cereals, and beverages.

Health notes

Natural cane juice is chemically similar to sucrose (table sugar) and provides calories. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental cavities. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, and their assessments are publicly available.

Allergen info

Natural cane juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
