What it is

Degermed yellow cornmeal is made from corn kernels that have had the germ removed. This process makes the cornmeal more stable and less likely to spoil. It is then enriched with added vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins.

Why it's used

Enriched degermed yellow cornmeal is used as a base ingredient in many baked goods and snack foods. It provides structure and a mild corn flavor. It is commonly found in cornbread, muffins, and as a coating for fried foods.

Health notes

Enriched degermed yellow cornmeal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and, due to enrichment, provides added nutrients like iron and folate. JECFA has evaluated cornmeal and its derivatives, establishing acceptable intake levels. The primary health consideration relates to the overall nutritional profile of foods containing cornmeal, which can vary widely.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
