Maize starch and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are not the same; they are derived from corn but serve different purposes in food products. Maize starch is primarily used as a thickening agent, while HFCS is a sweetener created by converting some glucose in corn syrup to fructose. In the UK, food products labeled with maize starch do not contain HFCS unless specifically stated. Thus, maize starch itself does not equate to high fructose corn syrup.
