What it is
Cellulose is a natural carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants. It is harvested from wood pulp or cotton. Industrial enzymes are used to break down the plant material into purified cellulose, which can then be processed into various forms.
Why it's used
Cellulose is used as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping, and as a thickener or stabilizer in foods like baked goods and dairy products. It can also add dietary fiber to foods.
Health notes
In the US, cellulose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is not absorbed by the body and passes through undigested, acting as dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose and found it to be safe for consumption, with no specific numerical limits set.
Allergen info
Cellulose is derived from plants and is not one of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
