What it is
Modified corn starch is a type of corn starch that has been chemically or physically altered to improve its performance in food products. This process changes its texture, stability, and ability to withstand heat and freezing. It is derived from corn, a common grain.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use modified corn starch as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It helps improve the texture and consistency of foods, preventing ingredients from separating. You can find it in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in sauces, soups, and dairy products.
Health notes
Modified corn starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate that provides calories but is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it, and EFSA has also assessed its safety. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at typical levels.
Allergen info
Modified corn starch is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. Corn is not a source of gluten.
