What it is
Organic confectioners glaze is a plant-based coating derived from shellac, a resin secreted by the lac beetle. It is processed to remove impurities and often bleached or decolorized.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic confectioners glaze to provide a protective, glossy coating on candies, baked goods, and snacks. This coating helps prevent moisture loss, adds shine, and can protect against sticking.

It is considered non-toxic and has been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels.
