Confectioner’s Glaze and the Gluten Free Diet

Confectioner’s glaze, also known as pharmaceutical glaze, is a common food additive used to provide a shiny, protective coating to candies, pills, and other food items. It is made from a resin secreted by the female lac insect, which is then processed into shellac. This ingredient is primarily used to extend shelf life, prevent moisture loss, and enhance the visual appeal of products.
