What it is

Glucose syrup is a liquid sweetener made from starch, typically from corn or wheat. The starch is broken down into smaller sugar molecules through a process called hydrolysis. It is a clear, viscous liquid that is less sweet than regular sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use glucose syrup as a sweetener, to add moisture, and to improve the texture and shelf life of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, jams, and processed meats.

Glucose syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and calories, similar to other sugars. JECFA has evaluated glucose syrup and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
