What it is

Organic barley malt extract is a sweetener made from sprouted organic barley grains. The grains are malted (sprouted and dried) and then steeped in hot water to extract their sugars. This liquid is then concentrated by evaporation to create a thick, syrupy extract.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic barley malt extract primarily as a sweetener and flavoring agent. Its rich, malty taste adds depth to baked goods, cereals, and snacks. It can also contribute to browning and texture in some products.

Health notes

Organic barley malt extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar malt extracts. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Barley is a grain that contains gluten. Therefore, organic barley malt extract contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is not one of the nine FDA major allergens.
