What it is

Pulp cells are the basic structural units of plant tissue. In food, they are often derived from fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes or citrus. They contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of food products.

Why it's used

Pulp cells are used to add texture and body to foods. They can make products feel thicker and more substantial. You can find them in items like salsas, dips, baked goods, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Pulp cells are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. They are a natural component of fruits and vegetables and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at normal consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food components, but specific evaluations for 'pulp cells' as a distinct additive are not widely documented.

Allergen info
