Crispy Rice Rice

Crispy rice is made from puffed rice grains. Rice is typically cooked, then expanded under pressure, and dried to create a light, airy, and crunchy texture.

Manufacturers add crispy rice for texture, providing a satisfying crunch and crispness to foods. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, and baked goods like cakes and cookies.

Crispy rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rice and its components, and it is not typically associated with significant health concerns at levels found in food.
