What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is produced by breaking down the starch into simpler sugars, primarily glucose. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods due to its sweetness and ability to prevent sugar crystallization.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add corn syrup as a sweetener, to provide moisture, and to improve texture in a wide variety of foods. It is frequently found in baked goods, candies, ice cream, jams, and sauces.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues. JECFA has evaluated corn syrup and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
