Arrowroot Starch with Fructose Intolerance

Status: Allowed

Arrowroot Starch is classified as well tolerated for Fructose Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Baked goods typically contain flour and leavening agents, with varying amounts of carbohydrates, fibre and fat depending on the recipe. With fructose malabsorption, both the absolute fructose content and the ratio of fructose to glucose are assessed, as the small intestine's capacity to absorb free fructose is reduced. The reasoning given is: pure starch, no fructose content. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
