Cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form
In plain English
This category covers solid forms of cane sugar, beet sugar, and chemically pure sucrose. The items are divided based on whether they are raw or chemically pure, and whether they have added flavors or colors. Raw sugars are further distinguished by their source, specifically whether they are beet or cane, and if they meet certain specifications. Chemically pure sucrose is categorized by the presence or absence of added flavoring or coloring agents.
