What it is

Sugar is a common carbohydrate, typically sucrose, which is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose. It is primarily extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the source plants have not been genetically modified. Some refined sugar is processed using bone char, which is an animal product.

Why it's used

Sugar is widely used as a sweetener to enhance flavor in foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in certain products like jams and baked goods.

Health notes

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to dental cavities and provide excess calories, which may lead to weight gain and increase the risk of chronic diseases. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars. JECFA and EFSA have not set an acceptable daily intake for sugar as it is a basic food ingredient rather than an additive.
