What it is

Modified cornstarch is a cornstarch that has been altered physically or chemically to improve its performance in food products. This processing can make it more stable under heat, cold, or acidic conditions, and improve its texture. It is derived from corn, a common grain.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use modified cornstarch as a thickener and stabilizer in a wide variety of foods. It helps create smooth textures and prevent ingredients from separating. You can find it in products like puddings, sauces, gravies, yogurt, and pie fillings.

Health notes

Modified cornstarch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a type of carbohydrate and provides calories. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated modified starches. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Modified cornstarch is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
