What it is

Sugar blends are mixtures of different types of sugars or sweeteners. They are typically created by combining various sugars like sucrose, fructose, or glucose, often derived from plants such as sugarcane, sugar beets, or corn.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar blends to foods to achieve specific sweetness levels, improve texture, and sometimes to reduce overall cost. They provide sweetness, bulk, and can help with browning in products like baked goods, beverages, and processed meals.

Health notes

The health effects of sugar blends depend on the specific sugars and sweeteners they contain. Sugars provide calories and contribute to the total amount of added sugars in the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars. Overconsumption of added sugars is generally associated with health concerns. The FDA regulates individual sugars as food ingredients, and JECFA has evaluated many common sugars and sweeteners.

Allergen info

Sugar blends are not considered a major allergen.
