What it is

Hydrolyzed corn and yeast protein is made by breaking down proteins from corn and yeast into smaller pieces called amino acids. This process, called hydrolysis, changes the proteins into flavor enhancers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed corn and yeast protein to foods to boost savory or umami flavors. It is often found in snacks like crackers and chips, as well as in soups and seasoned products.

Health notes

In the U.S., hydrolyzed corn and yeast protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar protein hydrolysates, but specific evaluations for this exact combination may vary.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed corn and yeast protein is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
