What it is

Corn gluten and wheat gluten are protein-rich components derived from corn and wheat grains, respectively. They are separated from the starchy parts of the grains during the milling process. These gluten fractions are primarily composed of proteins like gliadin and glutenin.

Why it's used

Gluten is often added to foods as a binder and texturizer, giving products a chewy or elastic quality. It is commonly found in baked goods, pasta, meat substitutes, and processed meats to improve texture and moisture retention.

Health notes

Corn and wheat gluten are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten must be avoided. JECFA has evaluated gluten and determined it is not a significant safety concern for the general population. However, ongoing research continues to explore the effects of gluten on gut health in sensitive individuals.

Allergen info

Wheat gluten is derived from wheat, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. Gluten itself is not a major allergen but is the trigger for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
