Non-gmo Soluble Tapioca Fiber

Soluble tapioca fiber is a type of dietary fiber made from tapioca, which is derived from the cassava root. It is processed to be soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, and is often labeled 'non-GMO' to indicate it was not genetically modified.

Manufacturers add soluble tapioca fiber to foods as a source of dietary fiber and as a low-calorie sweetener. It can also improve texture and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in candy, snack bars, and baked goods.

In the US, soluble tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of prebiotic fiber, which may support gut health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fibers, recognizing their role in digestion. Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort, such as gas or bloating, if they consume large amounts.
