What it is
Certified Confectioner's Glaze is a food-grade shellac, a natural resin produced by the lac insect (Kerria lacca). It is processed and purified to meet food safety standards before being used in food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Certified Confectioner's Glaze as a protective coating or glazing agent. It provides a shiny appearance, helps prevent moisture loss, and can act as a barrier to protect candies and snacks from sticking together.
Health notes
In the US, confectioner's glaze (shellac) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is typically consumed in small amounts as part of a finished food product. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated shellac and established acceptable daily intake levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Shellac is derived from an insect and does not contain any of the major allergens or gluten.
