What it is
Rice protein crisps are made from rice that has been processed to isolate its protein content. This protein is then typically combined with other ingredients and formed into small, crunchy pieces.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add rice protein crisps to foods to increase protein content and provide a crispy texture. They are commonly found in snack bars, granola bars, and baked goods mixes.
Health notes
Rice protein crisps are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of plant-based protein. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated proteins, but specific evaluations for rice protein crisps may vary. At typical intake levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Rice protein crisps do not contain gluten.
