Soluble Tapioca Fiber Non-gmo Corn Fiber

Soluble tapioca fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from the tapioca plant, which is made from cassava root. It is processed to be soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, and is often used as a sugar or fat replacer in food products.

Manufacturers add soluble tapioca fiber to foods to increase the fiber content, reduce sugar and calories, and improve texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, protein bars, and snacks.

Soluble tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It functions as a prebiotic fiber, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. While generally well-tolerated, consuming large amounts may cause gas or bloating in some individuals. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various types of dietary fibers, but specific evaluations for soluble tapioca fiber may vary.
