Corn Meal White

by Pepsico

Basic degerminated corn meal with mandatory vitamin fortification. While not heavily processed, the removal of the germ reduces natural nutrients, requiring synthetic vitamin additions.

• Degerminated White Corn Meal – safe · Ground white corn with germ removed. Safe but less nutritious than whole grain corn meal due to removal of natural oils and vitamins.
• Niacin – beneficial · Synthetic vitamin B3 added to replace nutrients lost during processing. Essential for energy metabolism and nervous system function.
• Reduced Iron – beneficial · Iron supplement added to fortify the corn meal. Important for oxygen transport and preventing anemia.
• Thiamin Mononitrate – beneficial · Synthetic vitamin B1 added for fortification. Essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nervous system function.
• Riboflavin – beneficial · Vitamin B2 added to replace nutrients lost in processing. Important for energy production and cellular function.
