What it is

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that comes from sugarcane and sugar beets. Corn starch is a powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels.

Why it's used

These ingredients are often combined to create a crunchy coating for candies and chocolates. The sugar provides sweetness and helps form the hard shell, while the corn starch acts as a binder and texturizer.

Health notes

Both sugar and corn starch are common food ingredients. The FDA considers corn starch to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Excessive consumption of added sugars is linked to health concerns by organizations like the World Health Organization. JECFA has evaluated sugar and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info
