Aunt Jemima Corn Meal White

by Pepsico

A basic degerminated cornmeal that's been stripped of natural nutrients then fortified with synthetic vitamins. While not harmful, the processing removes beneficial fiber, oils, and micronutrients found in whole grain corn.

• DEGERMINATED WHITE CORN MEAL – safe · Corn with the germ removed for shelf stability, reducing natural nutrients and fiber but creating a stable cooking ingredient.
• NIACIN – beneficial · Vitamin B3 added to replace nutrients lost during processing, essential for energy metabolism and cellular function.
• REDUCED IRON – beneficial · Iron supplement added for fortification, though less bioavailable than naturally occurring iron in whole grains.
• THIAMIN MONONITRATE – beneficial · Synthetic form of vitamin B1, added to replace thiamin lost during degermination process.
• RIBOFLAVIN – beneficial · Vitamin B2 fortification to restore nutrients removed during corn processing.
• FOLIC ACID – beneficial · Synthetic folate added for fortification, important for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation.
