In the United States, polyglycitol syrup (also called hydrogenated starch hydrolysates) is permitted as a bulk sweetener; the U.S. doesn’t use E-numbers, so it appears on labels by name and as a sugar alcohol.

It is used in U.S. foods under good manufacturing practice and must be labeled as a sugar alcohol; like other polyols, excess intake may cause a laxative effect in some people.
What is in polyglycitol syrup?
A mixture of sugar alcohols—primarily maltitol and sorbitol—plus maltotriitol and other hydrogenated oligo- and polysaccharides in water.
What is polyglycitol syrup made of?
It’s produced by catalytic hydrogenation of plant-derived starch hydrolysates (e.g., corn, wheat, or potato glucose syrups), converting the sugars into polyols.
What is the glycemic index of polyglycitol syrup?
There isn’t a single GI because it varies by formulation, but it generally has a lower glycemic impact than sugar; manufacturers typically report low-to-moderate GI values depending on maltitol content.
Is maltitol syrup bad for you?
Not inherently; it’s widely approved as a sugar substitute, but large amounts can cause gas, bloating, or a laxative effect. It has fewer calories than sugar and is tooth-friendly, but still contributes some carbs.
What is maltitol syrup made from?
It’s made by hydrogenating maltose‑rich starch hydrolysates from plant sources such as corn (maize), wheat, or tapioca.
Is maltitol syrup gluten free?
Yes—it's considered gluten free; even when derived from wheat, processing removes gluten to below the 20 ppm threshold. Highly sensitive individuals may still prefer products labeled gluten free.
What is maltitol syrup made of?
A water-based mixture mainly of maltitol (a sugar alcohol) with smaller amounts of related hydrogenated saccharides such as sorbitol and maltotriitol.
Does maltitol syrup raise blood sugar?
Yes, but typically less than the same amount of table sugar; it still contains digestible carbohydrates and can raise blood glucose, especially in larger servings.
