What it is

Fermented rice extract powder is made from rice that has been fermented by microorganisms, typically yeast or bacteria. This process breaks down the starches in the rice into simpler sugars, creating a liquid extract that is then dried into a powder. It is often used as a natural sweetener.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fermented rice extract powder primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It can also contribute to texture in some products. It is found in a variety of foods, including beverages, processed meats, and baked goods.

Health notes

Fermented rice extract powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is metabolized like other sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fermented products, and EFSA has also reviewed related ingredients. Evidence on specific health impacts at typical consumption levels is limited, and it is not associated with major health controversies.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. Therefore, fermented rice extract powder is not considered a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
