Organic Unbleached Cane Sugar

Organic unbleached cane sugar is a sweetener made from sugarcane. The sugarcane is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. After harvesting, the juice is extracted and evaporated, then crystallized without being bleached or refined.

Manufacturers add it as a sweetener and for texture. It is found in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, beverages, sauces, and desserts.

Organic unbleached cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Like other caloric sweeteners, excessive intake can contribute to excess calorie consumption. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set acceptable daily intakes. Evidence regarding the health effects of added sugars is ongoing.
