Maltodextrin: Vegan, Gluten-Free, GMO Status

Maltodextrin is produced by hydrolyzing starch, so it is plant-derived and compatible with vegan and vegetarian claims. Even wheat-derived maltodextrin is processed to be gluten-free below the labeling threshold, though a wheat source is still declared as an allergen in the US. Its non-GMO status follows the source crop, which is most often corn.
