MGP Ingredients, Inc. announced that its Arise® wheat protein isolates have been certified as low FODMAP ingredients by Monash University. FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that are not completely digested or absorbed in the small intestine. 

Bakers have long been challenged by two seemingly contradictory priorities. The first is that they must deliver the consistent product quality that consumers expect in spite of fluctuating gluten levels in wheat flour and the demands of high-speed manufacturing. Secondly, bakers are encouraged to remove artificial-sounding ingredients, such as DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides), which many shoppers want to avoid.
