What is Codex wheat starch?
Codex wheat starch is a specially manufactured wheat starch that has been processed to remove the gluten to a trace level, which complies with the international Codex Standard for gluten-free foods. The vast majority of individuals with coeliac disease should be able to tolerate this wheat starch. Codex wheat starch is only used in some prescribable products such as breads, rolls and flour mixes as it helps to improve the quality and texture of gluten-free foods. This helps to achieve compliance with the gluten-free diet. It is important to note that these products are gluten free but not wheat free.
