What it is

Corn syrup, also known as glucose syrup, is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch. 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 foods. It helps prevent sugar crystallization and adds a smooth mouthfeel. It is frequently found in candies, baked goods, sauces, and beverages.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Like other sugars, consuming large amounts can contribute to excess calorie intake and potential health issues. JECFA has evaluated glucose syrups and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
