What it is

Pregelatinized yellow corn flour is a type of corn flour that has been cooked and dried. This process makes it easier to mix with other ingredients, especially in cold applications. It is derived from yellow corn, a common grain grown in the United States.

Why it's used

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn flour and related products. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its typical consumption.
