What it is

Corn is a grain that grows on stalks. It is a staple crop in the U.S. and is processed into many forms, including whole kernels, cornmeal, corn starch, and corn syrup. Organic corn is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Corn and its derivatives are used in a wide variety of foods. They can act as sweeteners (corn syrup), thickeners (corn starch), or simply be included as a grain component. You'll find it in snacks, baked goods, cereals, and frozen meals.

Health notes

Corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its common derivatives. While generally considered healthy in moderation, excessive intake of highly processed corn products, especially those high in added sugars like corn syrup, may contribute to health issues.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
