| 22 | − | Glucose-fructose syrup is a sweetening syrup, printed on German labels as "Glucose-Fructosesirup". On Feldschlösschen Malz Klassik it is the second ingredient, after water.[^pack] | |
| 49 | + | Glucose-fructose syrup is not a substance of its own but the name an EU label must carry for a glucose syrup — the purified, concentrated aqueous solution of nutritive saccharides obtained from starch and/or inulin defined in point 7 of Part A of the Annex to Council Directive 2001/111/EC — once its fructose exceeds 5 % on a dry matter basis while glucose remains the larger component. Where fructose predominates instead, the same directive requires the name fructose-glucose syrup, so the two denominations are one rule read in two directions and are kept as separate pages here rather than merged.[^eu-sugars] It is accordingly the European name for the sweetener the United States calls high fructose corn syrup: EU manufacturers make it from wheat as well as maize, and the grades sold there run roughly 20 to 30 % fructose against the 42 % and 55 % usual in America.[^wiki-hfcs] German labels print it "Glucose-Fructosesirup", second after water in Feldschlösschen Malz Klassik.[^pack][^off-malz] | |
| 50 | + | ||
| 51 | + | EU sugar-regime law calls the same commodity isoglucose, defining it in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as the product obtained from glucose or its polymers with at least 10 % fructose in the dry state — a different threshold from the 5 % that triggers the labelling name, and the reason the two words are not interchangeable in legal text.[^eu-cmo] Its EU production quota, capped at 720,000 tonnes, was abolished on 1 October 2017.[^wiki-hfcs] No allergen is recorded: wheat-based glucose syrups including dextrose, and glucose syrups based on barley, are excepted from the cereals-containing-gluten entry of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, so a syrup from those cereals carries no allergen declaration.[^eu-1169] The definition admits only starch or inulin and the enzymes used to hydrolyse and isomerise them, with no animal input, which is the basis for the vegan and vegetarian values above.[^eu-sugars] | |
