What it is

Cultured dextrose is made by fermenting dextrose (a sugar) with specific bacteria. The process involves adding a starter culture to dextrose and allowing it to ferment under controlled conditions. This results in a product that contains dextrose along with byproducts of fermentation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured dextrose as a preservative and flavor enhancer. It helps inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms and can contribute to a desirable flavor profile in foods. It is often found in processed meats, sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

In the United States, cultured dextrose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar fermentation products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

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