What it is

Organic Gum Arabic is a natural gum made from the hardened sap of acacia trees, primarily found in the Sahel region of Africa. The sap is harvested, cleaned, and then processed into a powder or granules.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic gum arabic as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickener in foods. It helps prevent ingredients from separating and improves texture, commonly found in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Organic gum arabic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may aid digestion. EFSA has evaluated gum arabic and found it safe for consumption. JECFA also evaluated it and did not set a numeric limit.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. It does not contain gluten.
