What it is
Prebiotic soluble fiber is a type of dietary fiber that feeds beneficial bacteria in the gut. It is often derived from plant sources like chicory root, oats, or barley and can be produced through various food processing methods to isolate or modify the fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add prebiotic soluble fiber to foods to increase their fiber content and provide a source of food for gut microbes. It can also act as a bulking agent or texture modifier. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, baked goods, and some dairy products.
Health notes
In the US, prebiotic soluble fibers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are recognized for their potential to support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have also evaluated various fibers, acknowledging their role in digestive health. While generally considered beneficial, excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, if derived from oats or barley, it may contain gluten unless certified gluten-free.
