What it is

Degermed yellow corn meal is made from the endosperm of yellow corn kernels after the germ has been removed. This process removes much of the corn's oil and some nutrients. The remaining starchy endosperm is then ground into a meal.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use degermed yellow corn meal as a base ingredient for its texture and mild flavor. It is commonly found in snacks like corn chips, extruded snacks, and as a component in baked goods and some frozen meals.

Health notes

Degermed yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides carbohydrates and some fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and corn derivatives. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of corn meal.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
