In plain language

A fermentation-derived gelling and thickening agent produced by bacteria. Found in jams, jellies, liquid sweeteners, and fruit spreads — it creates smooth, firm textures at very low concentrations, making it efficient and cost-effective for manufacturers. Generally considered safe by EFSA and FDA. Some sensitive individuals may notice digestive discomfort at higher intakes, but typical amounts in food are well within safe limits.
