What it is

Organic dextrose is a simple sugar (carbohydrate) that is chemically identical to glucose. It is typically derived from organic corn or wheat starch. The starch is broken down through an enzymatic or acid process to yield dextrose.

Why it's used

Dextrose is used as a sweetener, to improve texture, and as a bulking agent in foods. It is often found in baked goods, snacks, confectionery, and processed meats. Its sweetness is less intense than sucrose (table sugar).

Health notes

Dextrose is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It provides calories and is metabolized by the body for energy. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated dextrose and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming dextrose at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Dextrose is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
