What it is

Refinery syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the byproducts of sugar refining. It is a mixture of sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, along with some minerals and other compounds left over from the sugar extraction process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use refinery syrup as a sweetener and humectant (to retain moisture) in a variety of processed foods. It can add a mild, slightly caramel-like flavor and contribute to texture in products like baked goods, sauces, and some processed meats.

Health notes

Refinery syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to increased calorie intake. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sweeteners, and while specific evaluations for refinery syrup are not widely published, it falls under the broad category of sugars. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at typical levels.

Allergen info

Refinery syrup is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
