What it is

Organic grain alcohol is ethanol produced from organic grains like corn or wheat. The grains are fermented by yeast to produce alcohol, which is then distilled and purified. It is often used in food production as a solvent or preservative.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic grain alcohol as a solvent to extract flavors and colors from natural sources, and as a preservative to extend shelf life. It is also used in some cooking sprays to help distribute the oil evenly. It is commonly found in cooking oils and some flavor extracts.

Health notes

Organic grain alcohol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose in food. When consumed in the small amounts typically found in food products, it is not expected to cause adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated ethanol and established guidelines for its use. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use as a food ingredient at typical levels.

Allergen info

Organic grain alcohol is derived from grains, which may include wheat or corn. If derived from wheat, it could potentially be a source of gluten, although the distillation process often removes gluten proteins. Consumers with wheat or gluten allergies should check specific product labels.
