Organic Malted Barley Syrup

Organic malted barley syrup is a sweetener made from organic barley that has been sprouted and then dried. The sprouted barley is then mashed with water to convert its starches into sugars, which are then concentrated into a syrup.

Manufacturers use organic malted barley syrup as a natural sweetener and to add a mild malty flavor and a slightly chewy texture to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like breads, cookies, and crackers, as well as in some cereals and granola bars.

Organic malted barley syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates and sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar malt syrups, but specific evaluations for organic malted barley syrup may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
