Last updated: July 2026 dataWheat starch occupies a distinct niche from corn starch in food formulation — its finer granule size and lower gelatinization temperature make it preferred for certain noodle, wafer, and gluten-free applications — and Australia and Canada are the leading suppliers to the US market. The US schedule divides the heading between food-use wheat starch (1108110010) and non-food applications (1108110090), a split relevant to FDA food-facility registration and FSMA compliance obligations that apply to the food-grade stream but not to industrial uses such as adhesives or paper coatings. Importers of food-grade product must maintain Foreign Supplier Verification Program records.

The classification split follows the intended end use declared at entry. Food-grade product triggers FDA food-facility registration requirements for the foreign manufacturer and FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program obligations for the US importer. Non-food wheat starch used in industrial applications such as adhesives or textile sizing does not carry those FDA requirements, though the physical product may be identical — making accurate end-use documentation essential.
Wheat starch inherently contains residual gluten protein, so it does not meet FDA's gluten-free threshold of less than 20 ppm unless it has been specially processed and tested to that standard. Importers supplying gluten-free food manufacturers should obtain gluten-content certificates from the supplier and ensure that labeling claims on finished products comply with FDA's gluten-free labeling rule.
