What it is

Organic starch is a carbohydrate derived from plants, such as corn, potatoes, or tapioca. It is a natural polymer that plants use to store energy. The "organic" label means it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following USDA National Organic Program standards.

Why it's used

Starch is primarily used as a thickener and stabilizer in foods like sauces, gravies, soups, and desserts. It can also improve texture, provide body, and prevent ingredients from separating in products such as yogurt, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Organic starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It serves as a source of carbohydrates, which are the body's primary energy source. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches and their derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from starch consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, if the starch is derived from wheat, it would contain gluten. Consumers with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should check product labels for specific starch sources.
