What it is
Maltodextrin is a digestible carbohydrate made from corn, rice, potato starch, or wheat. Honey is a sweet, viscous fluid produced by bees from nectar. They are often combined to create a sweetener blend.
Why it's used
This combination is used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. It can also act as a bulking agent, adding texture and volume to products like snacks, jerky, and baked goods.
Health notes
Maltodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Honey is also considered safe for consumption. Both are sources of carbohydrates and calories. The WHO/IARC has not classified maltodextrin or honey as carcinogenic. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these ingredients at typical levels found in food.
Allergen info
Maltodextrin derived from wheat contains gluten. Honey is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
