Made From Selected Grains

This refers to ingredients derived from grains like wheat, corn, rice, or oats. These grains are typically milled or processed to create starches, flours, or other components used in food production. The specific grain and processing method can vary widely.

Ingredients made from selected grains often serve as thickeners, binders, or texturizers in processed foods. They can also be used as fillers or to provide a base for other ingredients. You'll find them in a variety of products, including baked goods, sauces, soups, and processed meats.

Ingredients derived from grains are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many grain-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels, they are a source of carbohydrates and fiber. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns for most people when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
