What it is

Unenriched cracked corn is whole corn kernels that have been broken into smaller pieces. It is a grain product derived from the corn plant, a cereal grain. The cracking process makes it easier to process and cook compared to whole kernels.

Why it's used

Health notes

Unenriched cracked corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and corn products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of unenriched cracked corn.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
