Bone char (calcinated animal bones) is sometimes used to decolorize sugar. About a quarter of the sugar in the U.S. gets processed using bone char and the rest gets processed with activated carbon. Bone char does not get into the sugar.

You can read more about it on this web page or this more detailed document on sugar refining.
