What it is
Soluble wheat fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from wheat. It is produced by processing wheat to isolate and concentrate the soluble fiber components, often using enzymatic treatments.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add soluble wheat fiber to foods to increase their fiber content. It can also act as a bulking agent and may contribute to a smoother texture. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, cereal bars, and baked goods.
Health notes
Soluble wheat fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Soluble fibers can help support digestive health and may contribute to feelings of fullness. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated dietary fibers, generally finding them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that increasing dietary fiber intake is associated with positive health outcomes.
Allergen info
Soluble wheat fiber is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten, the protein found in wheat.
