INGREDIENT
Molasses
The thick syrup left after sugar is refined from cane or beet.

- Adds sweetness and palatability plus trace minerals such as iron. It is a sugar, so it is used sparingly.
An ingredient on its own tells you very little.
What matters is how much of it there is and where it sits in the list. That is why we weigh
the top five rather than reacting to any single name further down.
