What it is
Sugar, specifically sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found naturally in plants. It is typically extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, then purified and crystallized.
Why it's used
Sugar is primarily used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods. In products like icing, it also contributes to texture, volume, and acts as a preservative by reducing water activity.
Health notes
Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides energy to the body. However, consuming too much added sugar is linked to health concerns like dental cavities and weight gain. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugar.
Allergen info
