What it is
Corn fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from corn kernels, typically after the starch has been extracted. It can be either soluble or insoluble fiber, depending on its processing, and is often used to boost the fiber content of foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add corn fiber to increase the dietary fiber content of food products without significantly altering their taste or texture. It also functions as a bulking agent. Common applications include baked goods, snacks, cereals, and beverages.
Health notes
In the US, corn fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Dietary fiber, including corn fiber, is known to support digestive health. While consuming large amounts of any fiber can lead to temporary digestive discomfort, corn fiber is generally well-tolerated at typical intake levels. JECFA has evaluated various dietary fibers and considers them safe. EFSA has also assessed the safety of dietary fibers.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient is naturally gluten-free.
