What it is

Non-GMO potato refers to potatoes that have not been genetically modified using biotechnology. Potatoes are starchy root vegetables that grow underground. They are a staple crop worldwide and are processed into various forms for food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-GMO potato ingredients, such as potato starch or potato flour, as thickeners, binders, and texturizers in processed foods. They are commonly found in snacks, baked goods, soups, and sauces to improve consistency and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Non-GMO potato ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of carbohydrates and can be part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated potato and its derivatives, generally considering them safe for consumption. There are no widespread health concerns associated with typical intake of non-GMO potato ingredients.

Allergen info
