What it is

This ingredient is a blend of modified starches derived from tapioca (a plant root) and corn. The starches are processed to change their properties, making them useful in food production.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients. Evidence does not link typical consumption of modified food starch to adverse health effects.
