I believe that 25% of sugar is processed with bone char. It is hit or miss,

so we just avoid it.

Some sugar companies do this. Check with the companies.

 

I recently heard that white sugar is processed with

animal bones to help with the whitening. Is this true?

can sugar is almost always processed with bone char - if it wasn't it

wouldn't be white. but beet sugar is not processed because it's naturally

white. so if something reads " beet sugar, " in general i believe you're ok,

but regular table sugar rarely says what the source is.

I thought chlorine was used in processing sugar, but maybe just for processing

sucralose.
