Non-gmo Corn Starch And Monocalcium Phosphate

Corn starch is a carbohydrate derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a fine, white powder used as a food thickener. Monocalcium phosphate is a chemical compound used as a leavening agent.

Corn starch is used to thicken sauces, gravies, soups, and puddings. Monocalcium phosphate is often combined with baking soda to create a chemical leavening system in baked goods like cookies and crackers, helping them rise and achieve a desirable texture.

Corn starch is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Monocalcium phosphate is also GRAS by the FDA. Both are considered safe when consumed as part of a typical diet. Neither has specific health concerns associated with their use in food at normal levels. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these ingredients.
