Flour And Starch Blend

This is a mixture of flour, typically wheat flour, and starches. Starches can come from various sources like corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca. The blend is used to achieve specific textures and consistencies in food products.

Manufacturers use flour and starch blends as thickeners, binders, and texturizers. They help create a desirable mouthfeel and structure in baked goods, snacks, and processed foods. This blend is commonly found in bars, baked goods, and sauces.

Flour and starch blends are common food ingredients and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual starches and flours, but a blend itself is not typically subject to separate evaluation. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
