What it is

Glucose syrup solids are a sweetener made from corn starch. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars, and then the water is removed to create a dry powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add glucose syrup solids to provide sweetness and bulk, and to improve texture. They are commonly found in powdered drink mixes, ice cream, and snack bars.

Health notes

Glucose syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of carbohydrates and contribute to the overall sugar content of foods. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated glucose syrup and its components. Like other sugars, excessive intake can contribute to health issues associated with high sugar consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Derived from corn, which is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
