What it is

Glucose fiber, also known as isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO), is a type of soluble prebiotic fiber. It is typically produced from starch, often from corn or tapioca, through enzymatic processes. These processes break down the starch into shorter sugar chains that are resistant to digestion.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add glucose fiber as a sweetener and to increase the fiber content of foods. It provides a slightly sweet taste with fewer calories than sugar. It is commonly found in protein bars, baked goods, frozen desserts, and beverages.

Health notes

Glucose fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a prebiotic fiber, it can support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Some people may experience digestive discomfort, such as gas or bloating, if they consume large amounts. JECFA has evaluated IMO and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

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