What it is
This ingredient combines corn syrup, a thick, sweet liquid made from corn starch, with sodium bicarbonate, a white crystalline powder. Corn syrup is produced by breaking down corn starch into simpler sugars, primarily glucose.
Why it's used
Corn syrup is used as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to prevent sugar crystallization in foods like candies and baked goods. Sodium bicarbonate primarily acts as a leavening agent, helping baked goods rise, and can also regulate acidity.
Health notes
Both corn syrup and sodium bicarbonate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Corn syrup is a source of added sugars; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated both ingredients and did not specify an acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified) for either. Excessive intake of sodium bicarbonate can contribute to high sodium intake, with the FDA Daily Value for sodium being 2,300 mg.
Allergen info
Neither corn syrup nor sodium bicarbonate is considered a major allergen.
