What it is
Organic corn maltodextrin is a carbohydrate made from organic corn starch. It is produced through a process called hydrolysis, where corn starch is broken down into smaller chains of glucose. This results in a white powder that is easily digestible.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic corn maltodextrin as a thickener, a filler, or a sweetener. It can improve the texture and mouthfeel of foods. It is commonly found in snacks, baked goods, soups, and sauces.
Health notes
Organic corn maltodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a carbohydrate and provides calories, but it has a low glycemic index. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated maltodextrin. While some people report digestive discomfort or blood sugar spikes, these effects are typically associated with high consumption or in individuals with specific sensitivities.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Maltodextrin is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
