What it is

Organic sucrose is a simple carbohydrate, commonly known as table sugar. It is derived from organic sources such as sugarcane or sugar beets. The organic designation means it is produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, and without genetically modified organisms.

Why it's used

Sucrose is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods and beverages, providing a sweet taste. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some products. It is found in baked goods, candies, dairy products, and beverages.

Health notes

Sucrose is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that added sugars, including sucrose, should be reduced in the diet to limit the risk of adverse health effects. Excessive consumption of added sugars is linked to increased risk of dental cavities, weight gain, and other health concerns. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sucrose and established acceptable intake levels.
