What it is
Pregelatinized corn flour is a modified corn starch. It is made by cooking corn starch and then drying it, which changes its texture and how it absorbs liquid. This process makes it easier to use in baking and other food applications.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add pregelatinized corn flour as a thickener and stabilizer. It helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and bars, as well as in some snack products.
Health notes
Pregelatinized corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate and provides calories like other starches. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches, and it is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Pregelatinized corn flour is derived from corn. Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
