Is this product suitable for gluten‑free and vegan diets?

Yes, the flour is labeled as gluten‑free and contains only corn starch, which is plant‑based, making it compatible with both gluten‑free and vegan dietary regimes.

How does the high carbohydrate (starch) content influence blood sugar levels for people with diabetes?

Although the sugar content is low, the large amount of digestible starch (about 87 g per 100 g) can raise blood glucose quickly, so diabetics should count it as a significant carbohydrate source and monitor portion sizes.

Can corn starch cause allergic reactions, and how common is corn allergy?

Corn can trigger allergic reactions in a small percentage of individuals; however, corn‑starch allergies are relatively rare compared with wheat or soy, and most people tolerate the ingredient without issue.
