What it is

Cellulose fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from plant cell walls. It is a carbohydrate that humans cannot digest. It is processed from wood pulp or cotton linters.

Why it's used

Cellulose fiber is often added to foods as a source of dietary fiber and to improve texture. It can act as an anti-caking agent, a thickener, or a stabilizer. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.

Health notes

Cellulose fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is indigestible and passes through the body, contributing to dietary fiber intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose and its derivatives. While generally considered safe, very high intakes of fiber can cause digestive discomfort.

Allergen info

Cellulose fiber is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
