Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as ultra-processed (NOVA group 4).
What it is and why it counts
Maltodextrin is a white powder made by partly breaking down starch. It tastes of little, adds bulk and body, and carries flavours and sweeteners.
Substances rarely used in home kitchens
These are extracted from foods or derived from them industrially: refined sugars made from starch, isolated proteins and fibres, modified starches and oils. NOVA calls them "substances of no or rare culinary use", the other defining sign of an ultra-processed food.
Where it turns up
Maltodextrin appears in 2,344 of the 40,000 products on this site (6%).
