Modified food starch--an update.
In 1970, the National Academy of Sciences reviewed the safety and suitability of modified food starch for use in baby foods. Their report concluded that modified food starches were safe and appropriate for use. A second review, in 1978, by the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics, reaffirmed this conclusion. This update provides new information on modified starch utilization and reaffirms its value for use in baby foods.
