What it is
Wheat sugar is a sweetener made from wheat. It is a type of syrup or liquid sweetener derived from the starch of wheat. The process involves breaking down the wheat starch into simpler sugars.
Why it's used

Health notes
Wheat sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can contribute to blood sugar levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, and while specific limits are not stated here, they assess safety for consumers. High intake of any added sugar is linked to health concerns in general dietary recommendations.
Allergen info
