Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes corn syrup as safe (GRAS). As a source of added sugars, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to increased calorie intake. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated glucose syrup (a type of corn syrup) and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified), considering it a food ingredient. Corn syrup is often confused with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), but they are different products with distinct sugar compositions.
