What it is
Corn syrup is a food syrup made from the starch of corn. It is produced by breaking down corn starch into sugars, primarily glucose, through a process called hydrolysis. This results in a thick, sweet liquid.
Why it's used
It is widely used as a sweetener in many processed foods. Beyond sweetness, corn syrup helps prevent sugar crystallization, adds volume, and keeps foods moist, appearing in candies, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As an added sugar, consuming too much corn syrup contributes to overall calorie intake. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated glucose and related sugars, confirming their safety as food ingredients.
