What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the starch of corn. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, through a process called hydrolysis. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use corn syrup as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to improve texture in a wide range of products. It helps prevent sugar crystallization and adds a smooth mouthfeel. It is frequently found in baked goods, candies, jams, and processed meats.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other added sugars, high consumption of corn syrup can contribute to excess calorie intake. The WHO has recommended limiting added sugar intake. JECFA has evaluated corn syrup and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens. Corn syrup is not a source of gluten.
