Clean-Label Functional Starch

Modified-starch performance with "starch" on the label.

Modified-starch performance with "starch" on the label.

What it is

Corn or tapioca starch made functional by a physical process instead of a chemical modification. It declares as starch, corn starch or tapioca starch, not modified food starch.

What it does

It gives much of the heat, shear and freeze-thaw tolerance of a modified starch, so you can clean up the ingredient panel without losing your gravy or gel. Cook-up and instant versions are available.

Where it’s used

  • Wet food: gravy, sauce and gel body under a cleaner label.

  • Treats: soft and semi-moist treats, toppers and broths.

  • Dry food: binding in premium kibble lines.

  • Supplements: thickener for label-sensitive products.

  • Livestock feed: rarely needed.

Forms and packaging: Powder. 25 kg bags.

Country of origin: USA

Documents on request: Spec sheet, safety data sheet, certificate of analysis.
