Why People Avoid Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate
Some individuals avoid hydrogenated starch hydrolysates due to dietary restrictions such as gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as these starches can be derived from gluten-containing grains like wheat. Additionally, people following an oat-free diet need to confirm the source of the starch, as it might sometimes be derived from oats unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer.
