Controlled candy ingredient
Sugar rationing is a government-imposed limit on how much sugar individuals or households can purchase, typically during wartime or severe shortages.
Ration cards or stamps control distribution to ensure fair access when supply can't meet demand.
The term evokes World War II-era restrictions in many countries: My grandmother still talks about sugar rationing during the war.
