Modified food starch can be classified as a chemical transformed ingredient of food which is derived from starch. Many starches might have been contaminated through gluten. This is why we should be observant and more careful with foods we eat nowadays if we want to eliminate gluten from our various diets. As we have described modified food starch as ingredients, the word “food” we used when describing it brings about some doubts into the mixture. Some examples of modified starch are; potato, corn, wheat, rice and so on. All the ingredients of these foods are based on starches. Glutentenfreeliving.com states that wheat will be shown on the label of products if it has the basis of starch because other types of starches might be affected by gluten during their production. Therefore it is advised that anybody who is after a gluten-free diet should avoid modified food starch.
