What it is

Digestion resistant maltodextrin is a type of soluble fiber made from corn starch. It is produced by a process that modifies the starch to make it more resistant to digestion in the small intestine.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods as a source of dietary fiber and to improve texture. It can be found in products like snack bars, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

In the US, digestion resistant maltodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is considered a prebiotic fiber, meaning it can feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fibers. Some studies suggest it may help with blood sugar control and digestive health, but more research is ongoing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
