In fact, in the FDA study conducted in 1991, corn syrup and other syrups are not identified as food sources of C. botulinum spores for infants. However, because Karo is not specifically intended for infant feeding, we suggest you consult your pediatrician for advice. Although we would like all of our products to be available in all stores, space and consumer demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer carries. Check the list of Karo products to see if your favorite product or size is there. Unopened or opened, Karo pancake syrup may be stored at room temperature.
Storage conditions affect product quality.
Unopened bottles of Karo pancake syrup are microbiologically safe to eat for an indefinite period of time. Bottles maybe refrigerated after opening, however the syrup may be thicker and slower to pour. Karo pancake syrup can be brushed onto baked ham, barbecued meats, baked vegetables or fresh fruit as an ideal glaze, and can be poured over waffles, hot cereal and pancakes. It may be used in any recipe that calls for light or dark corn syrup. Pancake syrup will give the finished recipe a delicate maple flavor.
