Organic Fair Trade Certified Cane Sugar

Organic Fair Trade Certified Cane Sugar is a type of sugar derived from sugarcane plants. It is produced by crushing sugarcane stalks to extract their juice, which is then purified, evaporated, and crystallized. The "Organic" certification means it's produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and "Fair Trade Certified" indicates it meets standards for fair labor practices and environmental protection.

This ingredient is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in certain products. It's commonly found in desserts, baked goods, beverages, and confections.

Cane sugar, chemically known as sucrose, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises that intake of free sugars should be less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and determined that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) need not be specified.
