What it is
Crispy rice is made from cooked rice that is puffed to remove moisture, creating a light and crunchy texture. This process can be done by expanding the rice grains under pressure or by drying them rapidly.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add crispy rice for its texture, providing a satisfying crunch in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, candies, and baked goods.
Health notes
Crispy rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is primarily a carbohydrate source and does not have specific health claims associated with it. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rice as a foodstuff, but specific evaluations for 'crispy rice' as a processed ingredient are not typically detailed.
Allergen info
Crispy rice is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless cross-contaminated during processing.
