Is Golden Syrup Corn Free?

Caution

Sometimes. Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored sugar syrup, distinct from corn syrup. It is made by boiling down sugar cane or sugar beet juice and has a rich, caramel-like flavor. It's often avoided on a corn-free diet because it can be produced using corn-derived ingredients or processing aids, depending on the brand. Please contact the manufacturer for details.

Golden Syrup and the Corn Free Diet

Golden syrup is a sweetener made by refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice until it reaches a thick, amber consistency. It has a rich, caramel-like flavor and is used in a variety of culinary applications, from baking to sweetening beverages. Unlike corn syrup, which is derived from corn starch, golden syrup is made through the process of heating sugar solutions, which caramelizes the sugars and gives it its characteristic flavor and color.
