Aussies have rated ALDI as the top brand in Canstar Blue’s latest sugar ratings, with the brand rated five stars for value for money, taste, packaging convenience, texture & consistency and overall satisfaction.
Our review compares sugar on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which sugar they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 1,086 Australians for their feedback on the sugar or sweetener(s) they’ve purchased and consumed in the last three months.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

Supermarket brand Merryfield is the sole sugar brand in the ALDI range. It comes in plastic or paper packaging and can be bought in the form of raw, caster, white, and brown sugar, with 1kg packaging available.
In Australia, granulated sugar is another name for white sugar, or table sugar, and is likely what you put in your baking or your morning coffee.
In case you’re doing a bit of baking, there are widely considered to be four grams of sugar per teaspoon. A heaped teaspoon is generally considered to be between seven or eight grams, depending on how flexible you want to be with measurements.
