What it is
Enriched degerminated yellow corn meal is made from yellow corn that has had its germ and hull removed (degerminated). It is then enriched with added nutrients, typically iron and B vitamins like folic acid, niacin, and thiamin.
Why it's used
This ingredient is often used as a base in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and pancakes due to its mild corn flavor and texture. Manufacturers add it for its nutritional value and to provide structure and bulk to food products.
Health notes
Enriched degerminated yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients contribute to meeting daily requirements for certain vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated corn meal and its derivatives, and EFSA has also assessed related compounds. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of enriched corn meal.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
