Health notes
Brown sugar itself is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The primary health consideration for brown sugar, like all added sugars, is excessive intake. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified). As a blend, the specific health implications would also depend on the other ingredients in the "seasoning" component, which are not specified by the name "Seasoning Brown Sugar."
