What it is

Pre-gelatinized yellow corn meal is made from yellow corn that has been cooked and dried. This process, called gelatinization, makes the starch easier to digest and use in food production. It results in a fine powder that can be used as a flour or thickener.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pre-gelatinized yellow corn meal as a thickener and texturizer in baked goods like pastries, cookies, and muffins. It helps improve the texture and moisture retention of these products. It can also contribute a subtle corn flavor.

Health notes

In the U.S., pre-gelatinized yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn-derived ingredients, and typical consumption is not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. Pre-gelatinized yellow corn meal does not contain gluten.
