Sweeteners derived from sugar cane should be listed on ingredient statements as sugar, said the Food and Drug Administration in a guidance document released on May 25 (here). Representing such ingredients as “evaporated cane juice” is considered by FDA to be “false and misleading,” said the agency. Sweeteners derived from sugar cane are not relevant to the percentage juice declaration on beverage labels, so FDA would consider a juice product sweetened with an ingredient derived from sugar cane and labeled as 100% fruit juice to be misbranded, it said. FDA would not object to the addition of one or more truthful, non-misleading descriptors before the common or usual name “sugar,” it said. “Such a descriptor, which could be a coined term, could be used to distinguish the ingredient from white sugar and other sugars on the market by describing characteristics such as source, color, flavor, or crystal size.”
