What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the starch of corn. The starch is broken down into sugars, primarily glucose, through a process called hydrolysis. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods due to its sweetness and ability to prevent sugar crystallization.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use corn syrup as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to improve the texture and shelf life of foods. It is found in a wide variety of products, including baked goods like cakes and cookies, candies, jams, and sauces.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other sugars, excessive consumption of corn syrup can contribute to increased calorie intake and potential health issues associated with high sugar diets. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated corn syrup and established acceptable daily intake levels. Evidence on the health effects of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a common type of corn syrup, is mixed, with some studies suggesting a link to metabolic issues when consumed in large amounts, while others find no significant difference compared to other caloric sweeteners.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine FDA major food allergens. Corn syrup is not derived from any of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
