Modified Food Starch

[Roo 0]

I am getting very confused. I have heard so many conflicting views on Modified Food Starch is it a yes or a no is the U.S.? Sometimes labels clearly say Modified Corn Starch, then it is clear, but how about if it doesn't specify?

Any thoughts?

Call the company if it does not specify!

It could be wheat.

No, modified food starch can contain wheat and you should call about...it is not an ingredient that is ok if made in the US. Modified corn starch is ok but if the label does not specify or just says modified food starch call to verify!

As you know with companies like Kraft that would be ok as long as it doesn't say wheat,rye,barley, or oats on the label. They will not hide anything under those questionable ingredients, they will say right on the label.

For brands that don't do that definately call.

9 times out of 10, it is corn starch (if made in the US)

But you should ALWAYS call -- you don't want to encounter the 1/10 badluck.

p.s. The 9/10 thing is not backed up by any research -- just my own personal experience.
