What it is

Powdered cellulose is a white, odorless, tasteless powder made from purified wood pulp or plant fibers. It is a type of insoluble dietary fiber. The process involves breaking down cellulose from plant cell walls into fine particles.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent to keep powdered foods from clumping, and as a thickener or stabilizer in processed foods. It can also add bulk and texture to low-fat products. You can find it in baked goods, shredded cheese, and processed meats.

Health notes

In the U.S., powdered cellulose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is indigestible and passes through the body, acting as dietary fiber. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Powdered cellulose is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
