Non-gmo Cane Sugar And Non-gmo Brown Sugar

Cane sugar is a type of sugar made from sugarcane plants. The sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice, which is then purified, concentrated, and crystallized to produce white sugar. Brown sugar is either less refined cane sugar that retains some of its natural molasses, or white sugar with molasses added back. The "non-GMO" label means the sugarcane used was not genetically modified.

Sugar is primarily used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, moisture retention, and browning in baked goods. It is a common ingredient in desserts, candies, processed foods, and drinks.

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides calories and energy. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns, including increased risk of dental cavities and weight gain. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set an acceptable daily intake "not specified", meaning a numeric limit is not necessary based on current data.
