What it is
Organic corn syrup solids are a dried form of organic corn syrup. Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the starch of corn. The starch is broken down into sugars, and then the water is removed to create a powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic corn syrup solids to foods as a sweetener and to improve texture. They help prevent ice crystals from forming in frozen desserts and can add bulk to products like chewing gum and mints.
Health notes
Organic corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other sugars, consuming large amounts can contribute to excess calorie intake. JECFA has evaluated corn syrup and its derivatives and established acceptable daily intakes. EFSA has also evaluated these sweeteners.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the 9 major allergens. Organic corn syrup solids do not contain gluten.
