What it is

Starches are carbohydrates that come from plants. Potato starch is made from potatoes, and corn starch is made from corn kernels. Both are processed to extract the starch, which is then dried.

Why it's used

Starches are often used in food as thickeners, stabilizers, or binders. They can improve the texture and consistency of products like sauces, soups, and baked goods. Potato and corn starches are commonly found in frozen foods, baked goods, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Potato and corn starches are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of carbohydrates, which provide energy. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches and found them safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info
