What it is
Cellulose powder is a type of dietary fiber made from cellulose, the main building block of plant cell walls. It is typically produced from wood pulp or cotton. The cellulose is purified, processed, and then dried into a fine powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cellulose powder to foods to prevent clumping and caking, ensuring a uniform texture. It acts as an anti-caking agent, keeping powdered or shredded products free-flowing. It is commonly found in shredded cheeses, powdered drink mixes, and spice blends.
Health notes
In the U.S., cellulose powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a non-digestible fiber, meaning it passes through the body without being broken down. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cellulose and its derivatives. At typical intake levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Cellulose powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
