What it is

Rice extract is a natural ingredient derived from rice. It is typically produced by enzymatically breaking down rice starch into smaller sugars or by extracting components from rice grains.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rice extract as a natural sweetener and sometimes as a texturizer. It can add a mild sweetness and contribute to the mouthfeel of products. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

Rice extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various rice-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
