What it is
Corn syrup solids are a dry sweetener made from corn starch. The starch is broken down into smaller sugar molecules, then dried into a powder. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add corn syrup solids to provide sweetness and bulk to foods. They also help with texture and act as a preservative. You can find them in baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.
Health notes
Corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of carbohydrates and contribute to the overall sugar content of foods. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn syrup solids, and they are widely used globally. Concerns about added sugars and their impact on health are often raised in dietary guidelines.
