Moisturlok

Moisturlok is a brand name for a blend of ingredients that helps retain moisture in baked goods. It is typically made from a combination of sugars, starches, and sometimes humectants like glycerin or sorbitol. These components work together to prevent baked goods from drying out.

Manufacturers add Moisturlok to baked goods like cookies and cakes to improve their texture and shelf life by keeping them soft and moist. It helps maintain the desired consistency and prevents staling, making products more appealing to consumers over time. It is commonly found in cookies, biscuits, and some frozen desserts.

Moisturlok is a food ingredient blend, and its components are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as intended. The individual ingredients, such as sugars and starches, are common food components. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many of these common food ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from the typical amounts found in food.
