Cornstarch And Powdered Cellulose To Prevent Caking
Auto-generated content. This description was generated automatically and is pending editorial review. Inaccuracies are possible. Found a mistake? Contact us.
What it is
Cornstarch is a powder made from the endosperm of corn. Powdered cellulose is a fine powder made from plant cell walls, typically from wood pulp or cotton. Both are common food ingredients used to absorb moisture and prevent clumping.
Why it's used
These ingredients are added to dry food products to prevent caking, meaning they stop powders from sticking together and forming lumps. They are often found in dry soup mixes, spice blends, powdered sweeteners, and shredded cheeses.
Health notes
Cornstarch and powdered cellulose are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are considered dietary fiber and pass through the digestive system largely undigested. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Cornstarch is not a major allergen. Powdered cellulose is plant-derived and not a major allergen. Neither contains gluten.
