What it is

Cultured corn sugar is a sweetener made from corn. It is produced through a fermentation process using specific microorganisms to convert corn-derived sugars into a different type of sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured corn sugar primarily as a sweetener. It can also contribute to browning and act as a preservative in some food products. It is often found in processed meats, baked goods, and sauces.

Health notes

Cultured corn sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar sugar derivatives and established acceptable daily intake levels, though specific evaluations for cultured corn sugar may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Cultured corn sugar is derived from corn and is not considered one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
