Question: are thickeners 1442 gluten free?
Answer: Check additive codes: Thickeners (modified starches) made from wheat and raising agents made with wheat starch are not gluten free. Additive 1400, dextrin roasted starch, is made from wheat. Other thickeners, 1401 to 1450, made from maize, tapioca or potato starch are gluten free.
