Transglutaminase

Transglutaminase, sometimes referred to as “meat glue,” is an enzyme that speeds up the linking of proteins molecules causing them to stick together. This ingredient is also known for its chelator purposes, as it improves texture and flavor in processed meats. The FDA considers this ingredient safe for consumption. However, there are some existing concerns as transglutaminase occurs naturally in our bodies and could trigger those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Stay informed when adding products to your diet that contain this ingredient.
