What it is

Dextrose syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is a type of corn syrup that is primarily composed of dextrose, a simple sugar. The process involves breaking down the starch into smaller sugar molecules.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dextrose syrup as a sweetener and to add moisture and texture to foods. It can help prevent crystallization in candies and baked goods. It is commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and confectionery.

Allergen info

Dextrose syrup is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
