What it is
Modified potato and corn starch are starches that have been physically or chemically altered to improve their performance in food products. They are derived from corn and potato plants and processed to enhance properties like thickening ability, stability under heat, or resistance to freezing and thawing.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use modified starches as thickeners, stabilizers, and emulsifiers in a wide range of foods. They help create desired textures in sauces, gravies, dairy products, baked goods, and processed meats, and can improve the mouthfeel and shelf-life of products.
Health notes
Modified potato and corn starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of carbohydrates and are digested like regular starches. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various modified starches, typically finding them safe for consumption at intended use levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. While derived from corn and potatoes, these are not among the FDA's nine major food allergens.
