modified cornstarch is starch that is physically/chemically treated to change its properties and is mainly used as a thickening agent stabilizer or emulsifier in various food products (as a food additiive and not for taste/nutrition). there are many different types of these starches around and they are considered safe. from a nutrition perspective this ingredient is harmless and not an issue. but if you are a purist and prefer natural unadulterated food and beverages than you might choose to avoid it.
