What it is
Cellulose and psyllium powder are both dietary fibers derived from plants. Cellulose is a common structural component of plant cell walls, often sourced from wood pulp or cotton. Psyllium is derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. Both are typically processed into a powder form.
Why it's used
These powders are primarily used as thickeners and stabilizers in food products. They can help improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating. They are often found in frozen meals, pasta dishes, and baked goods.
Health notes
Cellulose and psyllium are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As dietary fibers, they can contribute to digestive health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Cellulose is plant-derived, and psyllium is derived from the seeds of a plant, neither of which are among the FDA's major allergens. Gluten is also not typically present.
