What it is

Corn is a grain crop grown widely in the United States. Ingredients derived from corn can include corn starch, corn syrup, corn oil, and corn gluten. These ingredients are produced through various processing methods, such as milling, extraction, and refining.

Why it's used

Corn-derived ingredients serve many functions in food. Corn starch and corn syrup are common sweeteners and thickeners. Corn oil is used as a cooking oil and an emulsifier. They are found in a wide range of products, including baked goods, sauces, processed meats, and snacks.

Health notes

FDA considers many corn-derived ingredients, such as corn starch and corn oil, to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a common sweetener, has been the subject of public debate regarding its role in diet. However, regulatory bodies like the FDA and international organizations like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sweeteners and food additives. Evidence does not show a direct link between HFCS and adverse health effects compared to other sugars when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

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