CautionFlavor Enhancer
Fermented grain extract is an ingredient derived from the fermentation of grains, which may include oats, corn, wheat, or rice.
What is Fermented Grain Extract?
Fermented grain extract is a product obtained by fermenting various types of grains. The fermentation process involves the breakdown of carbohydrates by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms. This process may enhance the nutritional profile of the grains and can result in a product used for various purposes such as flavor enhancement, nutritional supplementation, or as a base in cosmetic formulations. The specific grain used can affect the properties and potential allergens of the extract, making it important to verify the source grain, especially for those with dietary restrictions.

Why People Avoid Fermented Grain Extract

For individuals with oat allergies, it is crucial to confirm the source of the grain used in the extract, as it may contain oats unless explicitly stated otherwise.
