Non-gmo Corn Syrup Solids

Corn syrup solids are a dry sweetener made from corn. They are produced by drying liquid corn syrup, which is made from corn starch that has been broken down into simpler sugars. This process results in a fine powder.

Manufacturers add corn syrup solids to foods as a sweetener, bulking agent, and to improve texture and shelf life. They are often found in dry mixes, baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products.

Corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates and contribute to the overall sugar content of foods. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn syrup and related products. Evidence on the health effects of added sugars, including those from corn syrup solids, is ongoing and debated, particularly concerning links to weight gain and metabolic health.
