Meringue powder is typically gluten-free as it is primarily made from egg whites, sugar, and stabilizers like cream of tartar. However, it’s always important to check the specific brand’s ingredient list or look for a gluten-free label, as some manufacturers may add ingredients that contain gluten or process the powder in facilities that handle gluten-containing products.

Low in fat: Meringue powder is generally fat-free, making it a lower-calorie alternative to some other baking ingredients.
Source of protein: It contains egg whites, which are a good source of protein.
Shelf-stable: Unlike fresh eggs, meringue powder can be stored for long periods without refrigeration, reducing food waste.
Reduced risk of foodborne illness: Using meringue powder eliminates the risk of salmonella associated with raw egg whites.
Convenient source of calcium: Some brands fortify their meringue powder with calcium.
Sugar control: When used in recipes, it allows for better control of sugar content compared to pre-made meringues.
Allergy-friendly option: For those with egg allergies, some brands offer egg-free meringue powder alternatives.It’s important to note that meringue powder is primarily a baking ingredient and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its health impacts are minimal, and it’s mainly valued for its culinary applications rather than nutritional benefits.
People with egg allergies: Meringue powder typically contains egg whites, which can trigger allergic reactions in those with egg allergies.
Individuals with egg sensitivities: Even if not allergic, some people may have digestive issues or other sensitivities to egg products.
Vegans: As meringue powder contains egg products, it is not suitable for those following a vegan diet.
People with corn allergies or sensitivities: Some brands of meringue powder may contain corn starch as an ingredient.
Individuals with sugar restrictions: Meringue powder often contains sugar, which may be problematic for those on low-sugar diets or with certain health conditions like diabetes.
Those with sulfite sensitivities: Some meringue powders may contain sulfites as preservatives, which can cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
People with specific dietary restrictions: Always check the ingredient list, as some brands may include additives or stabilizers that might not align with certain dietary needs.
Young children and infants: Due to the risk of salmonella, it’s generally advised to avoid giving raw or undercooked egg products to young children.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about consuming meringue powder or any other food product.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
