What it is

Prebiotic dietary tapioca fiber is a soluble fiber derived from the tapioca root, a starchy root vegetable native to South America. It is produced through a process that modifies the starch to increase its fiber content and prebiotic properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add prebiotic tapioca fiber to foods to increase their fiber content and act as a natural sweetener. It is often found in snack bars, baked goods, and dairy products, where it can also contribute to texture.

Health notes

In the US, prebiotic dietary tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It functions as a prebiotic, meaning it can feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. JECFA has evaluated tapioca and its derivatives, and EFSA has evaluated various fibers. Some studies suggest potential benefits for gut health, while others note that high intake may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Tapioca is not derived from wheat, so it is gluten-free.
