What it is

Water Cane Sugar refers to a syrup made by dissolving cane sugar in water. Cane sugar is a type of sucrose, a disaccharide, which is extracted and refined from sugarcane plants. This syrup is commonly used in food and beverages.

Why it's used

This syrup is primarily used as a sweetener in many food and drink products, such as yogurts, juices, and flavored beverages. It also contributes to the texture, mouthfeel, and preservation of these items.

Health notes

Cane 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. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake. Excessive intake of added sugars, including cane sugar, can contribute to dental cavities and may be associated with weight gain and related health issues.

Allergen info

Neither water nor cane sugar is considered a major allergen.
