What it is

Powdered cellulose is a white, powdery substance made from the fibrous material found in the cell walls of plants, typically wood pulp or cotton. It is purified and processed to create a fine powder. Corn starch is a carbohydrate extracted from corn kernels, used as a thickening agent.

Why it's used

Powdered cellulose is used as an anti-caking agent, preventing powders from clumping, and as a dietary fiber supplement. Corn starch is widely used as a thickener in sauces, gravies, and puddings, and as a binder in baked goods. They are often found in processed foods like baked goods, dairy products, and frozen meals.

Health notes

Powdered cellulose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent and fiber source. It is indigestible and passes through the body, potentially aiding digestion. Corn starch is a common carbohydrate source. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cellulose and corn starch, generally finding them safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at normal intake levels.

Allergen info

Neither powdered cellulose nor corn starch are among the 9 major FDA allergens. They do not contain gluten.
