That doesn’t make sense. Sugar is cooked to separate the molasses from the sucrose and the resulting clear sugar is what appears white. Bone meal would cause weird crystals nucleation around the powdered bone and sugar crystals would look uneven, like a chalky Sugar In The Raw large grain.
I would love to learn more about how white sugar keeps a uniform shape after bone meal processing. Food science is fascinating. Have a link?
Usually when people talk about sugar they mean beet sugar, your link is about cane sugar… Who even needs to whiten cane sugar? It’s always been yellowish
I didn’t know sugar could be non-vegan.
White cane sugar is processed through

Sorry, it is bone char that is used, not bone meal.

They whiten it to get… white sugar
In the Americas you basically only get cane sugar. The other way around in Europe, where it’s basically all beet sugar
Interesting.
Super cool. Didn’t realize that sugar was basically cane sugar for AMPAC and beet sugar for Europe. Thanks!
Twinsies, almost.
The sugar is harvested from exotic cat shit.
What makes the cat shit exotic?
I happen to have a bunch. Should I take it into Antiques Roadshow?
It was a joke for people that know things ;)
