Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar in a 500 g box, made in the UK: a fine, silky icing sugar for dusting, glazing and buttercream.
Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar comes in the current white 500 g carton with magenta side bands, sugarcane illustrations and the navy Tate + Lyle square, carrying the royal warrant of Tate & Lyle Sugars, London. The front reads Made in the UK since 1878, and the pack explains that it is produced in the UK using raw cane sugar sourced from a range of non-UK countries. The ingredients are cane sugar (97%) and maize starch. Tate & Lyle describe it as having a fine, silky texture, essential for dusting, glazing or making buttercream. The box carries the Fairtrade mark, and the side panel states it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Pastry teams use it for buttercream, glacé icing, glazes and a light dusting over tarts and sponges.
