Glucose
Glucose is one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as ultra-processed (NOVA group 4).
What it is and why it counts
Glucose, usually listed as glucose syrup, is cheap, keeps products moist and stops sugar from crystallising. It is made by breaking down starch, usually from corn or wheat, with acids or enzymes.
Substances rarely used in home kitchens
These are extracted from foods or derived from them industrially: refined sugars made from starch, isolated proteins and fibres, modified starches and oils. NOVA calls them "substances of no or rare culinary use", the other defining sign of an ultra-processed food.
Where it turns up
Glucose appears in 5,874 of the 40,000 products on this site (15%).
