What it is
Sugar is a common name for sucrose, a sweet-tasting, crystalline carbohydrate. It is primarily obtained from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets, where it is extracted and then refined into the product we commonly use.
Why it's used
Manufacturers primarily add sugar to foods and beverages as a sweetener. It also contributes to texture, provides bulk, and can act as a preservative in certain products like jams. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, candies, and sweetened beverages.
Health notes
In the United States, sugar (sucrose) 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. The World Health Organization advises that free sugars should account for less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sugar. While sugar provides energy, high intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns.
Allergen info
Sugar is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
