Xanthan gum
Thickener · Stabiliser
What it is
A thickener made by fermentation. Small amounts thicken a lot, which is why it is everywhere in gluten-free baking.
What it does
Thickener
Makes a food thicker without changing its taste.
Stabiliser
Keeps a mixture from separating over time.
Regulatory position
European Union
Authorised for use in food
Authorisation in one country says nothing about another, and the absence of a record here is not evidence either way. Where precision matters, follow the citation to the regulation itself.
