So, what is hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose?
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile food ingredient derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plants. HPMC is widely used in food products as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It has excellent water retention properties, which make it ideal for use in bakery products, dairy products, and sauces. HPMC is also used in vegetarian and vegan products to mimic the texture and mouthfeel of meat. It is a safe and non-toxic ingredient approved for use in food by regulatory agencies worldwide.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
