What it is

Refined from corn refers to various ingredients derived from corn kernels that have undergone processing to separate and purify specific components. These processes, such as wet milling, extract parts like starch, protein, and oil. The resulting ingredients are then used in many food products.

Why it's used

These corn-derived ingredients serve multiple functions in food manufacturing, including as sweeteners (e.g., corn syrup), thickeners (e.g., corn starch), texturizers, and sources of fat (e.g., corn oil). They are commonly found in processed foods like baked goods, snacks, beverages, and sauces.

Health notes

Many ingredients refined from corn, such as corn starch and corn oil, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. Specific corn-derived ingredients have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA, which has set acceptable daily intakes for some. The health implications vary widely depending on the specific refined corn product, its composition, and its intended use.

Allergen info

Corn is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Ingredients derived from corn are also naturally gluten-free.
