What it is

Modified corn starch is a corn starch that has been physically or chemically changed to improve its performance in food. It is used to thicken, stabilize, or emulsify foods. It is not the same as high-fructose corn syrup.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add modified corn starch to improve texture, mouthfeel, and stability in foods like yogurt, ice cream, sauces, and baked goods. It helps prevent ingredients from separating and gives products a smoother consistency.

Health notes

Modified corn starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate that provides calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated modified starches, and they are permitted for use in many food categories. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 major food allergens. Modified corn starch does not contain gluten.
