Last updated: August 2026 dataPure fructose — crystalline or in solution at essentially 100% fructose purity — serves specialized markets including diabetic-friendly foods, sports nutrition, and high-intensity sweetener blending, where its greater sweetness per unit weight relative to sucrose is commercially valuable. Its classification as 'pure' distinguishes it from fructose syrups that contain residual glucose or other sugars; purity certificates are therefore central to both classification and buyer specifications. FDA regulates pure fructose as a food ingredient, and importers should ensure foreign manufacturers hold appropriate food facility registrations.

Trade classification as pure fructose generally requires that the product consist essentially entirely of fructose, with negligible glucose or other sugar content. In practice, importers rely on manufacturer certificates of analysis showing fructose purity (often 98–99%+ on a dry-weight basis) to support this classification at entry.
Yes. Under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), foreign facilities that manufacture or process food for US consumption — including pure fructose — must be registered with FDA and are subject to Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements. Importers bear responsibility for verifying supplier compliance before entry.
