High fructose corn syrup
High fructose corn syrup 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
High-fructose corn syrup is made from corn starch: enzymes break it down to glucose and convert part of that into fructose, giving a syrup about as sweet as table sugar.
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
High fructose corn syrup appears in 301 of the 40,000 products on this site (1%).
