What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the starch of corn. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, through an enzymatic or acid process. It's a common ingredient in many processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use corn syrup as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to prevent sugar crystallization in products like baked goods, candies, and jams. It contributes to the smooth texture and extended shelf life of many processed foods.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. High intake of added sugars, including those from corn syrup, is linked by health organizations like the WHO to increased risk of weight gain and associated health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn syrup and related sweeteners. Evidence on the specific health effects of corn syrup compared to other sugars is mixed and an area of ongoing research.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Corn syrup is not a source of gluten.
