What it is

Pure food glaze is a type of edible coating made from shellac, a natural resin secreted by the lac bug. The resin is collected, purified, and often dissolved in alcohol to create a liquid glaze.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pure food glaze to provide a protective, shiny coating on foods like candies, baked goods, and fruits. This coating helps to prevent moisture loss, improve appearance, and extend shelf life.

Pure food glaze is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural product and is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated shellac, and it is permitted for use in many countries.

Allergen info

Pure food glaze is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
