What it is

Cellulose powder is a type of dietary fiber made from plant material, typically wood pulp or cotton. It is processed to create a fine, white powder that is insoluble in water. This processing removes lignin and other non-cellulose components.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cellulose powder to foods as an anti-caking agent, preventing powders and granular ingredients from clumping together. It can also act as a thickener or a source of fiber. It is commonly found in powdered mixes, shredded cheeses, spices, and baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., cellulose powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a non-digestible fiber, meaning it passes through the body largely unchanged, contributing to dietary fiber intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose and its derivatives, generally considering them safe for consumption. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Cellulose powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
