Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is safe while breastfeeding. It's a common thickening agent found in salad dressings, sauces, gluten-free baked goods, and many other processed foods. It passes through the digestive system largely undigested and doesn't meaningfully absorb into your bloodstream or breast milk.

Sources: FDA, EFSA

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