Ingredients Declared as Evaporated Cane Juice; Guidance for Industry; Availability

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a guidance entitled ``Ingredients Declared as Evaporated Cane Juice.'' The document advises industry of FDA's view that sweeteners derived from sugar cane, including those derived from sugar cane syrup, should not be declared on food labels as ``evaporated cane juice.'' Instead, such ingredients should be declared as ``sugar,'' preceded by one or more truthful, non-misleading descriptors if the manufacturer so chooses.
