Popular questions
What is modified food starch?
A group of plant-based starches that have been physically, enzymatically, or chemically treated to change how they behave in foods—improving thickening, stability, freeze–thaw performance, or emulsification (E1400–E1452).
Is modified food starch gluten free?
Often yes when sourced from corn, potato, tapioca, or rice; if it’s from wheat, it can contain gluten unless specially processed and labeled gluten-free. In the US/EU, wheat-derived modified starch must be declared as “wheat,” so check the allergen statement or a gluten-free claim.
What is modified corn starch?
Modified starch made from corn that’s been treated to improve thickening, stability, and resistance to heat, acid, or shear; commonly used in sauces, soups, dressings, and desserts.
Is modified corn starch gluten free?
Yes—corn is naturally gluten-free, and modified corn starch remains gluten-free; only potential cross-contact is a concern, so rely on allergen statements or a gluten-free label if needed.
What is modified wheat starch?
Starch from wheat that has been modified to alter its functionality (e.g., thicker, more stable or freeze–thaw tolerant); it may retain some gluten unless specifically purified and labeled gluten-free. “Wheat” must appear in allergen labeling in many regions.
Is stevia leaf extract bad for you?
No—high-purity steviol glycosides (E960) are considered safe by major regulators when consumed within the acceptable daily intake of 4 mg/kg body weight/day (as steviol equivalents). Some people may notice a bitter aftertaste or mild gastrointestinal upset at high intakes.
Is stevia leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
Yes—high‑purity steviol glycosides are considered safe in pregnancy at typical dietary levels. Avoid crude stevia leaf or unrefined extracts (not approved as sweeteners in some regions) and stay within normal amounts.
Can dogs have stevia leaf extract?
Stevia (E960) is not known to be toxic to dogs, but large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset. Ensure the product doesn’t contain xylitol or other additives harmful to pets.
Is stevia leaf extract safe?
Yes—high‑purity steviol glycosides are approved/GRAS as sweeteners and safe within the ADI of 4 mg/kg body weight/day (as steviol equivalents). Crude stevia leaf or whole‑leaf extracts are not approved as sweeteners in some regions.
Does stevia leaf extract have erythritol?
No—pure stevia leaf extract (E960) does not contain erythritol; erythritol (E968) is a separate sweetener. Many tabletop stevia products blend the two for bulk, so check the ingredient list.
