What it is

Glucose-fructose syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn or wheat starch. The starch is broken down into glucose and fructose sugars, which are then mixed in varying proportions. It is a common alternative to granulated sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use glucose-fructose syrup as a sweetener and to improve texture and shelf life in many processed foods. It is often found in baked goods, beverages, jams, jellies, and candies.

Health notes

In the US, glucose-fructose syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like other added sugars, high intake may contribute to excess calorie consumption. The WHO has stated that free sugars, including those in syrups, should be reduced in the diet. Evidence on the specific health effects of glucose-fructose syrup compared to other sugars is mixed, with ongoing research.

Allergen info

Glucose-fructose syrup is not derived from one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless derived from wheat and the manufacturing process allows for cross-contamination.
