Yellow Corn Flour

Yellow corn flour is a finely ground powder made from dried yellow corn kernels. The corn kernels are typically dried and then milled into a fine flour, which retains the natural yellow color of the corn.

Manufacturers use yellow corn flour to add texture, flavor, and color to various food products. It is often used as a thickener in sauces and gravies, as a coating for fried foods, and as an ingredient in baked goods, snacks, and tortillas.

Yellow corn flour is considered a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. There are no known adverse health effects at typical intake levels, and it is not associated with any major controversies. As a basic food ingredient rather than an additive, it is not typically subject to specific evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for acceptable daily intake limits.
