Sugar quality standards

Sugar quality standards are guidelines that ensure sugar meets certain purity, color, moisture, and impurity levels for safety and consistency. They specify acceptable ranges for factors like ash content (residue after burning), moisture (water content), color (appearance), and impurities such as dirt or bags. These standards help maintain uniform product quality across production, refining, and export, ensuring consumers receive safe, high-quality sugar. They are set by organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and national authorities to facilitate fair trade and consumer confidence.
