E415
Xanthan Gum
Also known as E415
A fermentation-derived thickener that is well tolerated and common in gluten-free baking.
What it is
Produced by fermenting sugar with a bacterium, xanthan gum thickens sauces and binds gluten-free doughs.
Health concern
Considered safe; it is a soluble fibre that passes through largely undigested. Very large amounts can have a laxative effect.
The verdict
A benign, useful additive — no real cause for concern.
