What it is

Prebiotic IMO is a type of soluble fiber made from non-GMO tapioca starch. It is produced through an enzymatic process that modifies the starch molecules to create short-chain carbohydrates that act as prebiotics.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Prebiotic IMO primarily as a dietary fiber source and a low-calorie sweetener. It is often found in snack bars, energy bars, and other baked goods where it can contribute to texture and sweetness.

Health notes

Prebiotic IMO is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. As a prebiotic fiber, it is intended to support gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar fibers, but specific evaluations for Prebiotic IMO may vary. Evidence suggests it can be fermented by gut bacteria, but high intakes may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.

Allergen info

Prebiotic IMO is derived from tapioca starch, which is not one of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
