What it is

Enriched degermed yellow corn meal is made from yellow corn that has had its germ removed (degermed) and then been ground into a meal. Enrichment means that certain vitamins and iron have been added back after processing, typically thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron.

Why it's used

This ingredient is often used as a base or filler in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and cookies, as well as in snack foods like corn puffs and tortilla chips. It provides structure and a mild corn flavor to these products.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn-derived ingredients, but specific evaluations for enriched degermed yellow corn meal may vary. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
