What it is

Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, through a process called hydrolysis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add corn syrup to foods for sweetness, to prevent sugar crystallization, to add body, and to keep products moist. It is commonly found in candies, baked goods, jams, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Corn syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a source of added sugars, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal.
