What it is

Modified food starch is a carbohydrate derived from common food starches like corn, tapioca, or potato. It is chemically or physically altered to improve its performance in food processing, such as enhancing texture or stability.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use modified food starch as a thickener, stabilizer, or emulsifier. It helps improve the texture and consistency of products like sauces, gravies, dairy products, and baked goods.

Health notes

Modified food starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a digestible carbohydrate that provides energy. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated modified starches, and their safety is supported by scientific reviews.

Allergen info

Modified food starch is not typically considered a major allergen. However, if derived from wheat, it may contain gluten, which is an allergen for some individuals.
