What it is

Degermed yellow corn flour is made from yellow corn kernels that have had the germ removed. This process removes the oily germ, which helps extend the shelf life of the flour. The remaining starchy endosperm is then ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use degermed yellow corn flour as a thickening agent and a base ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods. It adds texture and structure to products like breads, muffins, and snack bars. It is also found in some frozen entrees and appetizers.

Health notes

Degermed yellow corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn flour, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical intake.

Allergen info

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