What it is

Turkey broth is the liquid made by simmering turkey parts, often with vegetables and seasonings. Modified food starch is a carbohydrate derived from corn, tapioca, or potato that has been altered to improve its performance in food products.

Why it's used

Health notes

Turkey broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Modified food starch is also GRAS. Both ingredients are common in the food supply and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these ingredients and found them safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Turkey broth is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Modified food starch is typically derived from corn, tapioca, or potato, which are not major allergens. Neither ingredient contains gluten.
