What it is

Malted corn and barley syrup is a sweetener made from grains. It is produced by malting barley and then combining it with corn syrup, followed by enzymatic treatment to break down starches into sugars.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use malted corn and barley syrup primarily as a sweetener and flavoring agent. It adds a mild, malty sweetness and can contribute to browning in baked goods. It is commonly found in cereals, baked goods, and snack bars.

Health notes

Malted corn and barley syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Like other sugars, excessive intake can contribute to caloric intake. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar carbohydrate-based sweeteners, but specific evaluations for this exact blend may vary. Evidence does not link typical consumption to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Malted corn and barley syrup is derived from corn and barley. Barley contains gluten, which is an allergen for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
