Xanthan gum is a natural, plant-derived thickening agent commonly used to improve the texture, consistency, and shelf life of pet food products. It helps retain moisture, enhance viscosity, and create a smooth, uniform texture.
Xanthan gum, as a soluble fiber, can support digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements and improving gut health. It also helps retain moisture, improve texture, and make pet food more palatable, while being a gluten-free option for pets with sensitivities.
