What it is
Wheat corn starch is a carbohydrate derived from wheat and corn. It is a fine, white powder produced by milling grains and separating the starch from the protein and fiber. This process yields a versatile ingredient used in many food applications.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use wheat corn starch primarily as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, gravies, and fillings. It helps improve texture and mouthfeel in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, and can also act as a binder.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches, and EFSA has also reviewed starch derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
