What it is

Vegan cane sugar is a type of sugar made from sugarcane. Unlike some conventionally processed cane sugars, it is refined without the use of bone char, which is a charcoal made from animal bones. This makes it suitable for vegan diets.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a sweetener to add taste to foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and preservation in various products like baked goods, cereals, and desserts.

Health notes

Cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Like all sugars, it provides calories. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health concerns. JECFA has evaluated sugars.
