Organic Cane Syrup

Organic cane syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the juice of organically grown sugarcane. The sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice, which is then filtered, evaporated, and concentrated into a thick syrup. The 'organic' label means the sugarcane is grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.

Manufacturers add organic cane syrup primarily as a sweetener in various food products. It also helps to add moisture and improve the texture of foods. You can find it in snack bars, cereals, baked goods, and some beverages.

Organic cane syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. As an added sugar, it contributes calories to the diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns. Sugars are fundamental macronutrients and are not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way as food additives.
