What it is
Bread crumbs are small pieces of dried bread. They are made by toasting or baking bread until it is dry and then grinding it into fine or coarse crumbs. The type of bread used can vary, from white to whole wheat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use bread crumbs as a binder and coating in many foods. They add texture and crispness when fried or baked, commonly found in breaded meats, fish, and vegetables. Bread crumbs are also used to thicken sauces and in baked goods like casseroles and stuffings.
Health notes
Bread crumbs are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates and fiber, depending on the type of bread used. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients. At typical consumption levels, they do not pose health concerns for most people.
Allergen info
Bread crumbs are derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They also contain gluten. Not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
