The sweetener

Raw sugarcane

Raw sugarcane, printed on the Joe's Blend box as 'Organic raw cane sugar (saccharum officinarum)', is the first of nine ingredients, so by the label's order, which lists ingredients heaviest first, it is the heaviest single ingredient in each sachet. The Eurofins analysis measured 10.37 g of total sugars in a 21 g sachet, which rounds to 10 g.

How much sugar is in one sachet?

These are the lab figures for one 21 g sachet, with the arithmetic we did on them shown in each row.

Total sugars
10.37 g per 21 g sachet, printed rounded as 10 g
Share of the powder
49 percent by weight: the lab measured 49.38 g of sugars per 100 g (10.37 ÷ 21 = 0.494)
Carbohydrate
15.93 g, of which 10.37 g are sugars
Energy
91.60 kcal per sachet, printed rounded as 92
Sugars in a box of 10
About 104 g (10 sachets × 10.37 g)
Against the WHO figure
About one fifth. The WHO limit for free sugars is less than 10 percent of daily energy, about 50 g for a 2,000 kcal day; 10.37 g is 21 percent of 50 g.

The 10.37 g counts every sugar in the sachet, including any from the creamer's glucose syrup solids; the report does not split it by ingredient. The WHO counts sugars added by a manufacturer, and sugars in syrups, as free sugars, and cane sugar and glucose syrup solids are both on the Joe's Blend label.

Why is sugar the first ingredient?

Labels list ingredients from the heaviest to the lightest at manufacture. Sugar comes first on the Joe's Blend box, before the non-dairy creamer and everything else, so by the label no other ingredient in the sachet weighs more. That is what the order states; the box prints no weight for any single ingredient. The box pairs it with the botanical name Saccharum officinarum.

Put plainly, Joe's Blend is a sweet 3-in-1: the lab figure shows just under half of the powder by weight is sugars, and this page says so rather than calling it low sugar.

Raw sugar vs white sugar: what is the difference?

Raw cane sugar keeps some of its molasses, which is where its color and flavor come from. It is still sugar: the WHO definition of free sugars covers sugars added by the manufacturer, raw cane sugar included, and we make no health claim for it.

What does 'organic' on the box mean for this page?

The box prints 'Organic raw cane sugar', and this site copies the label word for word. The certificate behind the organic wording is not published on this site yet, so this page makes no organic claim of its own. The box also does not print where the cane was grown, so we do not name a region.
