Non Gmo Baking Powder

Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a base (like baking soda) and an acid. It's used to make baked goods rise and become light and fluffy. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the ingredients used to make the baking powder were not genetically modified.

Manufacturers add baking powder to baked goods to help them rise during cooking. It creates carbon dioxide gas when mixed with liquid and heated, causing the batter to expand. It is commonly found in cakes, cookies, muffins, pancakes, and quick breads.

Baking powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The primary ingredient, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), is a common food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. At typical consumption levels found in baked goods, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
