Role in food

What it is
Cultured corn syrup solids are made from corn syrup that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria or yeast. This fermentation process changes the corn syrup's composition, often reducing its sweetness and altering its texture. The resulting solids are then dried and powdered.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured corn syrup solids as a sweetener, texturizer, and stabilizer in foods. They can also contribute to a desirable browning effect. You'll find them in baked goods like breads and bars, as well as in processed meats.
Health notes
In the U.S., cultured corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar corn syrup derivatives, but specific evaluations for cultured corn syrup solids may vary. Evidence does not link typical consumption to adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Cultured corn syrup solids are derived from corn, which is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
