it depends on what brand you get...most store brands and the most popular brand (McCormick) are made of vanilla bean extract, water, alcohol, and corn syrup. be very careful when shopping for extracts so that you get one of the brands without corn syrup.

Fillers
Be aware of fillers in foods such as artificial sweeteners, fiber supplement mixes, sugar-free fruit drinks, sugar-free gelatin mixes, and other products that come as dry powders for mixing. The filler used is commonly maltodextrin, dextrose, or corn syrup solids, all made from manipulating the starch contained in corn. These additives are all carbohydrates and must be counted. In fact, all three of these fillers have the same glycemic index as does glucose. Dextrose is chemically equivalent to glucose.
