Cellulose gum is a type of fiber that consists of natural plant fibers. It is made from wood pulp and used as a thickening agent, stabilizer and emulsifier. It has been used in foods since the 1950s and is considered safe for consumption.

Cellulose Gum is most commonly found in ice cream, breads, salad dressings, peanut butter and other processed foods which require thickening agents to create a smooth texture.
