Made From Carefully Selected Potatoes

Potatoes are starchy root vegetables grown underground. They are a staple food in many cultures and are prepared in countless ways, including being fried, baked, boiled, or mashed. When used as an ingredient, potatoes are typically processed into flakes, flour, or starch.

Potato ingredients like flour and starch are used as thickeners in sauces, gravies, and soups. Potato flakes can be used to make mashed potatoes or as a binder in processed foods like potato chips and snacks. They can also add texture and bulk to baked goods.

Potatoes are a source of carbohydrates, potassium, and some B vitamins. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider potato ingredients to be safe for consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated potato-derived ingredients and found them to be of low safety concern.
