Pure Cane Powdered Sugar

Pure cane powdered sugar is a finely ground granulated sugar made from sugarcane. The grinding process creates a soft, powdery texture, often with a small amount of cornstarch added to prevent clumping.

Manufacturers use powdered sugar primarily as a sweetener and texturizer in baked goods and confectionery. Its fine texture makes it ideal for smooth frostings, glazes, and dusting baked items, as well as for creating delicate cookies and candies.

Powdered sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a sweetener. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental problems. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugar and its derivatives, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for added sugars in this context.
