What it is

Organic barley malt syrup is a sweetener made from sprouted organic barley. The grains are malted (sprouted and dried), then mashed in hot water to release sugars. The liquid is then concentrated into a thick syrup.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use barley malt syrup as a natural sweetener and coloring agent. It adds a mild, malty flavor and a rich brown color to baked goods like cookies, breads, and cereals.

Health notes

Barley malt syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar malt products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Barley is a grain and contains gluten. It is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
