What it is

Cultured dextrose is made by adding a starter culture to dextrose (a type of sugar) and allowing it to ferment. Maltodextrin is a starch-derived carbohydrate. Together, they are often used as a preservative to inhibit the growth of mold and yeast.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured dextrose and maltodextrin primarily as a preservative to extend the shelf life of foods. They are commonly found in pickled vegetables, olives, relishes, and some canned soups.

Health notes

The FDA lists cultured dextrose and maltodextrin as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). These ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects when consumed in typical amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated similar substances.

Allergen info

Cultured dextrose and maltodextrin are not derived from major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
