What it is
Sucrose syrup is a solution of sucrose (table sugar) and water. Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made by breaking down corn starch into simpler sugars like glucose. When combined, sucrose syrup and corn syrup create a blend of sugars used in food products.
Why it's used
This blend is primarily used as a sweetener to add taste to foods and beverages. It also helps to improve texture, prevent crystallization, and extend shelf life in products like ice cream, candies, and baked goods.
Health notes
Sucrose syrup and corn syrup are sources of added sugars. The FDA considers both sucrose and corn syrup as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used appropriately. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health concerns such as weight gain and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. JECFA has evaluated sugars and has not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified) for sucrose, considering it a food ingredient rather than an additive.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Corn syrup is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
