What it is
Carnauba wax is a natural wax harvested from the leaves of the carnauba palm tree, native to Brazil. The leaves are dried, and the wax is extracted by beating them and then purified.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use carnauba wax as a glazing or coating agent to give foods a shiny appearance and to prevent sticking. It is commonly found in candies, chewing gum, and mints, as well as in some baked goods and fruit coatings.
Health notes
Carnauba wax is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is not metabolized by the body and passes through undigested. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated carnauba wax and established specifications for its purity.
Allergen info
Carnauba wax is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
