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, through an enzymatic or acidic process. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods.
Why it's used
Corn syrup is used as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to prevent sugar crystallization. Its smooth texture and mild sweetness make it ideal for candies, baked goods, and sauces. It is also frequently found in ice cream and frozen yogurt to improve texture and prevent ice crystal formation.
Health notes
Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of simple carbohydrates and contributes to overall sugar intake. The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted that added sugars, including those from corn syrup, should be limited in the diet to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. JECFA has evaluated corn syrup and set an acceptable daily intake.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
