What it is

Caramelized sugar is made by heating sugar until it turns brown. This process, called caramelization, changes the sugar's flavor and color. Organic caramelized sugar is made from organically sourced sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use caramelized sugar as a natural browning agent and flavor enhancer. It adds a rich, slightly bitter, and sweet taste, often described as toasty or nutty. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, sauces, and beverages.

Health notes

Caramelized sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated caramel colors, which are related, and established acceptable daily intakes. The FDA has also evaluated certain caramel colors. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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