  • Sparko Sweets explains "Does Corn Syrup Go Bad?"

    Does Corn Syrup Go Bad?

    When it comes to long-lasting pantry staples, corn syrup deserves a standing ovation. This sugar-rich syrup is a microbial no-go zone thanks to its low water activity, which means spoilage is rare unless mishandled. Unopened bottles can last indefinitely, and even opened ones keep for years if sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry place. Spoilage signs include mold, cloudiness, sour smells, or strange textures—but sugar crystals don’t count! They’re harmless and reversible with a warm water bath. Just don’t give corn syrup (or honey) to infants under one year due to botulism risk. At Sparko Sweets, ingredient integrity is key to our magic-making—from vibrant Galaxy Pops to soothing Honey Lollipops. Understanding how ingredients behave ensures our artisanal candies stay safe, beautiful, and delicious from our kitchen to yours
