Dusted With Corn & Potato Starch

Corn starch and potato starch are both white, powdery carbohydrates derived from corn kernels and potatoes, respectively. They are produced by separating the starch from the other components of the grain or tuber. These starches are commonly used as food ingredients.

Manufacturers use corn and potato starch primarily as thickeners and stabilizers in a wide variety of foods. They help give foods like sauces, gravies, and soups a desirable texture and prevent ingredients from separating. They are also used to dust products like mochi to prevent sticking.

Both corn starch and potato starch are considered safe by the FDA and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). They are sources of carbohydrates and are digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches, and they are widely used globally. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.
