What it is

Distarch phosphate is a modified food starch. It is made from corn, potato, or tapioca starch that has been chemically treated to improve its stability and texture. This process helps the starch withstand heat, acid, and freezing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use distarch phosphate as a thickener and stabilizer in foods. It helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of products, preventing ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in dairy products, sauces, baked goods, and frozen foods.

Health notes

Distarch phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is used in small amounts and is not expected to cause adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated modified starches, and they are permitted for use in foods.

Allergen info

Distarch phosphate is not derived from any of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
