What it is
Whole algal flour is made from dried, ground algae, a type of seaweed. It is a nutrient-rich ingredient that can be processed from various strains of microalgae or macroalgae.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use whole algal flour as a source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. It can also function as a thickener or emulsifier in food products. It is found in items like baked goods, plant-based alternatives, and snacks.
Health notes
Whole algal flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of beneficial nutrients like protein and omega-3s. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated algal flours, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also reviewed algae as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Whole algal flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
