What it is

This is a modified form of corn starch, a carbohydrate derived from corn. It is processed using chemical or physical means to change its properties, often to improve its stability and texture in food products. Soybean oil may be used in the modification process.

Why it's used

Modified corn starch acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It helps improve the texture and consistency of foods like sauces, soups, baked goods, and dairy products. It is often found in cereal, seasoning mixes, marinades, croissants, and muffins.

Health notes

Modified corn starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated modified starches. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming modified corn starch at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens. Soy is a major allergen, and if soybean oil is used in the modification process, this ingredient may be derived from soy. Gluten is not present in corn starch.
