Non-gmo Maltodextrin From Corn

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide made from corn starch. It is produced through a process called hydrolysis, where corn starch is broken down into smaller chains of sugar molecules. It is a white powder that dissolves easily in water.

Manufacturers add maltodextrin as a thickener, stabilizer, or filler ingredient. It can also be used as a sweetener or flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in processed foods like snacks, baked goods, and sauces.

Maltodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a carbohydrate that can raise blood sugar levels, so individuals managing blood sugar should be mindful of its presence in foods. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated maltodextrin and found it to be safe for consumption.
