The Following: Evaporated Cane Syrup

Evaporated cane juice, also known as cane sugar or cane juice crystals, is a sweetener made from the juice of sugar cane. The juice is heated and evaporated, leaving behind sugar crystals. It is minimally processed, retaining some of the natural molasses content from the sugar cane.

Evaporated cane juice is primarily used as a sweetener in a variety of food products. Its slightly less refined nature gives it a subtle caramel flavor compared to refined white sugar. It can be found in baked goods, cereals, snacks, and processed meats.

Evaporated cane juice is considered a form of sugar and provides calories. The FDA has stated that 'evaporated cane juice' is not a standard ingredient name and that the ingredient should be declared as 'sugar'. Like other sugars, excessive consumption is linked to health concerns. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various sugars, but specific evaluations for 'evaporated cane juice' as a distinct ingredient are not typically noted.
