Made From Corn And Potato

This ingredient is a blend of starches derived from corn and potatoes. These starches are typically extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels and the tubers of potato plants. The process involves milling, washing, and drying to isolate the starch granules.

Manufacturers use this blend as a thickener and stabilizer in a variety of food products. It helps improve texture, mouthfeel, and moisture retention. You can often find it in snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in baked goods and sauces.

Starches from corn and potato are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches, and they are widely used globally. At typical consumption levels found in processed foods, they do not pose health concerns for the general population.
