What it is

Non-GMO potato starch is a complex carbohydrate derived from potatoes that have not been genetically modified. It is produced by washing potatoes, crushing them to release the starch, and then separating and drying the starch granules. This process results in a fine, white powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-GMO potato starch primarily as a thickener and binder in foods. It helps improve texture and moisture retention in products like baked goods, soups, sauces, and processed meats. Its neutral flavor makes it suitable for a wide range of food applications.

Health notes

Non-GMO potato starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches, and they are considered safe when consumed at typical levels. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its consumption.

Allergen info

Potato starch is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
