What it is

Whole grain yellow corn meal is a flour made by grinding dried whole kernels of yellow corn. Unlike refined cornmeal, it includes the germ, bran, and endosperm of the corn kernel, retaining more nutrients. It is a staple ingredient derived from the corn plant.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add whole grain yellow corn meal to products primarily for its texture, flavor, and nutritional value. It provides bulk and a distinct corn flavor to various foods. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips and crisps, breakfast cereals, and some processed fish products.

Health notes

Whole grain yellow corn meal is considered a whole food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a whole grain, it contributes dietary fiber and other nutrients to the diet. There are no known adverse health effects at typical intake levels, and it is not evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
