What it is

Organic wheat protein is a plant-based protein derived from wheat. It is produced by isolating the protein content from wheat flour, often through a process of washing and drying. The 'organic' designation means it is made from wheat grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add wheat protein to boost the protein content of foods. It can also improve texture and act as a binder. It is commonly found in baked goods like breads and waffles, as well as in plant-based meat alternatives.

Health notes

Organic wheat protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. JECFA has evaluated wheat gluten, a related substance, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake of wheat protein.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat protein is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
