Glucose Syrup (Contains Sulphites)
Glucose syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the hydrolysis of starch, commonly derived from corn, potatoes, wheat, or rice. It is primarily composed of glucose and used in foods to add sweetness and improve texture and shelf life. Sulphites are chemical compounds often added as preservatives to prolong shelf life and maintain the color of foods. While recognized as safe by the FDA, sulphites can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
