Non-gmo Sprinkles

Sprinkles are small, decorative confectionery items used to add visual appeal and texture to desserts. They are typically made from a base of sugar, corn syrup, and cornstarch, often combined with fats, waxes, colors, and flavors. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the ingredients used in the sprinkles, such as sugar or cornstarch, are not genetically modified.

Manufacturers add sprinkles primarily for decorative purposes, enhancing the visual appeal of baked goods, ice cream, and other desserts. They provide a crunchy texture and a touch of sweetness. Sprinkles are commonly found on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and frozen treats.

Sprinkles are a food product, not a single additive, and their health implications are mainly related to their primary ingredients. They are high in added sugars; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Individual ingredients within sprinkles, such as specific colors or fats, are regulated by the FDA. JECFA and EFSA evaluate individual food additives, not composite food products like sprinkles.
