About LIGHT CORN SYRUP, LIGHT
Meijer Light Corn Syrup is a classic baking ingredient sold under the Meijer private label of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. Light corn syrup is a refined, viscous sweetener produced from cornstarch through enzymatic hydrolysis. It is a foundational ingredient in candy making, pecan pie, caramel sauces, and various confectionery applications where inversion of sucrose crystallization is needed. This Meijer formulation contains corn syrup, salt, and vanilla extract, the traditional combination used in the major national brand equivalents. The vanilla extract contributes a mild flavor note that complements the otherwise neutral-sweet profile of the syrup. Per 100 grams, the product delivers 400 calories entirely from carbohydrates at 100 grams, with no protein, fat, or fiber. The 30-milliliter serving provides roughly 120 calories. Light corn syrup is distinct from high-fructose corn syrup in that it has not undergone the additional enzymatic step to convert glucose to fructose; it is primarily glucose chains. It does not crystallize at room temperature, making it valuable for smooth candy and glaze textures. The product is allergen-free and contains no artificial colors or preservatives. Vanilla extract contributes negligible alcohol at typical serving sizes.
