What it is

Modified cornstarch is a type of cornstarch that has been chemically or physically altered to improve its performance in food products. It is derived from corn and is used to change the texture, stability, or appearance of foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use modified cornstarch as a thickener, stabilizer, or emulsifier in a variety of foods. It helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of products like canned soups, sauces, gravies, and dairy-based desserts.

Health notes

Modified cornstarch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate that provides energy. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated modified starches. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the FDA's major allergens. Modified cornstarch does not contain gluten.
