What it is

Natural cane sugar, also known as sucrose, is a carbohydrate sweetener. It is derived from the juice of sugarcane, a tall grass. The juice is extracted, purified, and then crystallized to produce the sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cane sugar primarily as a sweetener to provide a sweet taste. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some foods. It is found in a wide variety of products, including baked goods, beverages, dairy products, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Natural cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting intake of free sugars, including added sugars like cane sugar, to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes. Excessive consumption of added sugars is linked to increased risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sucrose and established acceptable daily intakes.

Allergen info

Cane sugar is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
