Organic Evaporated Sugar Cane Juice

Organic evaporated sugar cane juice is a sweetener made from sugarcane. It is produced by pressing sugarcane to extract its juice, which is then filtered and heated to evaporate most of the water, leaving behind a crystalline solid. The "organic" designation means the sugarcane was grown and processed according to organic standards.

This ingredient is used as a sweetener in many food products, similar to table sugar. Manufacturers often choose it for products marketed as "natural" or "less processed." It is commonly found in desserts, baked goods, and beverages.

Evaporated sugar cane juice is a form of sugar and provides calories. The FDA considers sugar and its various forms, including evaporated cane juice, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sucrose, as it is a macronutrient. The FDA has issued guidance stating that "evaporated cane juice" should be labeled as "sugar" or "dried cane syrup" because the term may mislead consumers into believing it is nutritionally superior to other sugars.
