What it is

Panko bread crumbs are a type of Japanese-style breadcrumb. They are made from white bread without crusts, processed into coarse flakes, and then baked. Panko has a lighter, airier texture than traditional breadcrumbs.

Why it's used

Panko is used as a coating for fried or baked foods, providing a crispy texture. It is often found in frozen appetizers, seafood, and chicken dishes. Manufacturers use it to improve the crunchiness and appearance of food products.

Health notes

Panko bread crumbs are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily a source of carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for panko as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed. At typical consumption levels, they do not pose health concerns.

Allergen info

Panko bread crumbs are made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They also contain gluten. Not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or wheat allergies.
