What it is

Organic malt syrup is a sweetener made from sprouted organic barley grains. The grains are mashed with water to release enzymes, which convert starches into sugars. The resulting liquid is then concentrated by evaporation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic malt syrup as a sweetener and for its distinct malty flavor. It also contributes to browning and texture in baked goods. It is commonly found in cookies, cereals, and baked snacks.

Health notes

Organic malt syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and sugars. Like other sweeteners, excessive consumption can contribute to increased calorie intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malt and malt extracts, but no specific ADI was set for malt syrup itself.

Allergen info

Malt syrup is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
