What it is

Potato starch is a carbohydrate extracted from potatoes. It is a fine, white powder made by crushing potatoes, separating the starch from the pulp and juice, and then drying it. It is a common ingredient used in many food products.

Why it's used

Potato starch is primarily used as a thickener and to prevent caking in powdered foods. It helps to absorb moisture and maintain a free-flowing texture. You can find it in products like spice blends, powdered sugar, and some processed meats.

Health notes

In the U.S., potato starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches, and they are considered safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. There are no widespread health concerns associated with its typical use in foods.

Allergen info

Potato starch is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
