Modified Food Starch: Gluten and GMO Questions

Modified food starch is treated plant starch, so it is vegan and vegetarian. Its gluten-free status depends on the source: corn, potato and tapioca starches are gluten-free, while a wheat-derived modified starch may carry gluten unless processed and tested below the threshold. Because corn is common, non-GMO status also follows the source crop, confirmed by supplier documentation.
