What it is
Modified rice starch is a type of starch that has been physically or chemically altered to change its properties. It is derived from rice and is used to improve the texture, stability, and mouthfeel of food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use modified rice starch as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer. It can help prevent ingredients from separating and improve the consistency of foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, dairy products, baked goods, and processed meats.
Health notes
Modified rice starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various modified starches, and they are permitted for use in foods. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Modified rice starch does not contain gluten.
