What it is

Modified cellulose gum is a type of dietary fiber made from cellulose, a natural fiber found in plant cell walls. It is produced by chemically treating cellulose to change its properties, making it soluble in water and giving it thickening and stabilizing abilities.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add modified cellulose gum to foods to improve texture, provide thickness, and prevent ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in frozen products such as patties and appetizers, where it helps maintain moisture and structure.

Health notes

Modified cellulose gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It functions as a source of dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Modified cellulose gum is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
