What it is

Non-GMO malt syrup is a sweetener made from barley. The barley grains are sprouted, which activates enzymes that convert starches into sugars. The mixture is then heated to stop enzyme activity and create a thick, amber-colored syrup.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add non-GMO malt syrup primarily as a sweetener and flavoring agent. Its mild, malty taste complements many snacks and baked goods. It is often found in popcorn, pretzels, candy, and baked goods.

Health notes

Non-GMO malt syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malt and malt extracts, but no specific ADI was set. Evidence does not link typical consumption of malt syrup to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Malt syrup is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not gluten-free and is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
