What it is

Powdered cellulose is a plant-based fiber made from the cell walls of plants, typically wood pulp or cotton. Dextrose is a simple sugar derived from corn starch. They are often combined as an anti-caking agent.

Why it's used

This blend is used to prevent powdered foods from clumping together, ensuring a free-flowing texture. It is often found in shredded cheeses, spice mixes, and other dry powdered products.

Health notes

Powdered cellulose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. It is not digested by the body and passes through as fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Neither powdered cellulose nor dextrose are derived from the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
