What it is

Non-GMO glucose is a simple sugar derived from starch, typically corn or wheat, that has not been genetically modified. It is produced by breaking down the starch molecules into glucose units. This process can be done through enzymatic or acid hydrolysis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-GMO glucose primarily as a sweetener and to add moisture and texture to foods. It is a common ingredient in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages, where it contributes to sweetness, browning, and shelf life.

Health notes

Non-GMO glucose is recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy to the body. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated glucose and related sugars. Evidence does not link typical consumption of glucose from food to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Glucose itself is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. If derived from wheat, it may be a concern for those with celiac disease or wheat allergies, though the processing typically removes gluten.
