What it is

Sugar is a common carbohydrate found in many plants. It is typically extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets and then refined into the white crystalline form commonly used in food products. It is primarily composed of sucrose.

Why it's used

In seasoning packets, sugar is used to provide sweetness, balance other flavors like saltiness or spiciness, and can also contribute to browning reactions when heated. It is frequently found in seasoning blends for savory dishes, sauces, and noodle products.

Health notes

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. High consumption of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake for sugar, as it is considered a basic foodstuff rather than a food additive requiring an ADI.

Allergen info

Sugar is not a major allergen.
