Karo syrup is primarily made from corn syrup, which is derived from cornstarch. The main ingredients include water, corn syrup, and sometimes high fructose corn syrup. Depending on the variety (light or dark), it may also contain caramel color and salt. The syrup is commonly used as a sweetener and thickening agent in various recipes.

Dark Karo syrup primarily consists of high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, and a small amount of salt. It may also contain artificial flavors and caramel coloring, which gives it its characteristic dark color. The syrup is commonly used as a sweetener in recipes like pecan pie or as a topping for desserts.

No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup.

ACH Food Companies, Inc., the conglomerate that owns and markets Karo syrup, says, "Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite period of time, whether it has been opened or not opened. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful. Storage conditions affect product quality. Before or after opening, Karo syrup may be stored at room temperature. Bottles may be refrigerated after opening, however, the syrup will be thicker and slower to pour."
