What it is

Organic confectioner's glaze is a coating made from shellac, a natural resin secreted by the lac bug. It is purified and often bleached to create a clear or light-colored coating. The 'organic' designation means the shellac is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

It is used as a food glaze or coating to provide shine, protect against moisture loss, and prevent sticking. It's commonly found on candies, chocolates, baked goods, and dried fruits to give them a polished appearance and extend shelf life.

Health notes

Confectioner's glaze is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Shellac is considered safe for consumption by regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety.

Allergen info

Shellac is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
