What it is
Wheat fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from wheat. It is produced by processing the outer layers of the wheat kernel, often through mechanical or enzymatic methods, to isolate the fiber components.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add wheat fiber to foods to increase their fiber content, which can improve texture and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods like breads and muffins, as well as in snack bars and some processed meat alternatives.
Health notes
Wheat fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Dietary fiber plays a role in digestive health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various types of dietary fibers. Evidence suggests that adequate fiber intake is associated with a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.
Allergen info
Wheat fiber is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It also contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
