What it is

White corn flour is a finely ground powder made from dried white corn kernels. The milling process removes the hull and germ, leaving the starchy endosperm. It is a staple grain product, particularly in many global cuisines.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use white corn flour as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, and soups. It also serves as a base for baked goods like cornbread and tortillas, and is used in batters for fried foods to create a crispy coating.

Health notes

White corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. JECFA has evaluated corn flour and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

White corn flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
