What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is produced by breaking down the starch into simpler sugars through a process called hydrolysis. The resulting syrup is sweet and has a thick, syrupy consistency.

Why it's used

Corn syrup is widely used in processed foods as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to prevent sugar crystallization. It is common in baked goods, candies, jams, and beverages.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calories and sugars, and high intake of added sugars can contribute to health issues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn syrup, and EFSA has also assessed related compounds. Evidence on the health effects of added sugars is extensive and ongoing.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Corn syrup is typically gluten-free.
