What it is

Malt syrup is a sweetener made from barley malt. The grains are sprouted, then mashed with water to create a sugary liquid. This liquid is then boiled down to a thick syrup.

Why it's used

Malt syrup is used as a sweetener and flavoring agent. It adds a mild, malty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and pretzels, as well as cereals and snacks.

Health notes

Malt syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and sugars. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated malt syrup. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Malt syrup is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
