What it is

Native potato starch is a carbohydrate extracted from potatoes. It is a fine, white powder that is insoluble in cold water. It is used as a food ingredient without further chemical modification.

Why it's used

Potato starch is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many food products. It can help improve the texture and moisture retention of processed meats like pepperoni and salami. It is also found in baked goods, soups, and sauces.

Health notes

Native potato starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is digested like other starches. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated starches, and they are considered safe when consumed at typical levels.

Allergen info

Potato starch is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
