Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a safe, common food additive made from starch (usually corn, rice, or potato). It's used as a thickener, filler, or sweetener in many processed foods, infant formulas, and sports drinks. It's quickly digested into glucose and poses no special concern while breastfeeding.

Sources: FDA, EFSA

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
