What it is

Food starch-modified is a starch derived from common food sources like corn, tapioca, or potatoes. It is chemically or physically altered to improve its performance in food applications, such as thickening or stabilizing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use modified food starch to thicken sauces, gravies, and fillings, and to stabilize dairy products and dressings. It helps create a desirable texture and prevent ingredients from separating in processed foods.

Health notes

Modified food starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate that provides energy. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated modified starches, and they are widely used globally without significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Modified food starch is not a major allergen. If derived from wheat, it may contain gluten, but the modification process often removes gluten proteins.
