What it is
Organic malt extract is a sweetener made from organic barley. The barley grains are sprouted, dried, and then steeped in hot water to create a liquid extract, which is then concentrated.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic malt extract as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer, providing a mild, malty taste. It is often found in baked goods like cookies and crackers, as well as snack mixes.
Health notes
Organic malt extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malt extract, and it is widely used in foods without significant controversy at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Malt extract is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
