What it is

Enriched yellow corn meal is a type of corn flour made from ground yellow corn. It is enriched, meaning that certain vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins (folate, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin), are added back after processing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched yellow corn meal to provide texture, structure, and a mild corn flavor to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cornbread and muffins, as well as in snack foods like tortilla chips and corn puffs. The added nutrients also contribute to its nutritional profile.

Health notes

Enriched yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn products, but specific evaluations for enriched yellow corn meal's health effects at typical intake levels are not widely published. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

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