Maltodextrin can be gluten free and sometimes it is not gluten free? Which one is in Isagenix?
Isagenix is gluten free, and comes from the USA
Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually corn;
in Europe, it is commonly wheat. While wheat-derived maltodextrin may cause concern for Celiacs that it may contain gluten,
maltodextrin is such a highly processed ingredient that the protein is removed, rendering it gluten free.
If wheat is used to make maltodextrin, it will appear on the label. Even so, the maltodextrin will be gluten free.
