What it is
Modified cornstarch is a cornstarch that has been chemically or physically altered to improve its performance in food products. This processing changes its texture, stability, and ability to withstand heat and freezing. It is derived from corn, a common grain.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use modified cornstarch primarily as a thickener and stabilizer in foods. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating, especially in products that are frozen, canned, or baked. You can find it in sauces, gravies, soups, yogurts, and baked goods.
Health notes
Modified cornstarch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a type of carbohydrate that provides energy. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated modified starches. Current research does not indicate adverse health effects from consuming modified cornstarch at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Modified cornstarch is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten, as it is made from corn, not wheat.
