Polydextrose — Food Grade
Allzone Trading supplies food grade polydextrose to manufacturers in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. Polydextrose is a soluble glucose polymer used as a bulking agent in sugar- and fat-reduced products and as a source of soluble fibre. Grade characteristics are confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.

Buyer intent coverage
Polydextrose — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Polydextrose is a low-calorie glucose polymer used primarily as a bulking agent: it replaces the physical volume that sugar or fat provides in reduced-calorie products while counting as soluble fibre. It is highly soluble, humectant and largely non-sweet, so it pairs naturally with high-intensity sweeteners. Ontario and Quebec confectionery, bakery and dairy manufacturers are the main Canadian users, alongside nutrition-bar and supplement producers in the Greater Toronto Area.
Primary uses
- Replacing sugar bulk in reduced-calorie formulations
- Adding soluble fibre with minimal sweetness
- Controlling water activity and moisture in bars and bakery
- Providing body in reduced-fat systems
Applications
- Sugar-free and reduced-sugar confectionery
- Bars, bakery and cereal products
- Frozen dessert and dairy
- Beverages and powdered mixes
- Nutrition and meal-replacement products
Advantages
- Efficient bulking with about a quarter of the calories of sugar
- Very high solubility and low viscosity
- Humectant behaviour supports softness and shelf life
- Long-established regulatory position as a food additive
Limitations to consider
- Laxation threshold limits inclusion in a single serving
- Slightly acidic and can need pH correction in sensitive systems
- Contributes no sweetness, so a sweetener system is still required
- Hygroscopic — dry handling needs humidity control
How to choose the right grade
- Model the total bulk replacement rather than swapping sugar one-for-one
- Check the laxation limits against your serving size
- Confirm whether a pH-neutralised grade is needed
- Set the fibre analytical method for the label
Typical grades
- Standard powder
- pH-neutralised grade
- Agglomerated grade
- Liquid / syrup grade
Comparable materials — how Polydextrose sits against alternatives
- Resistant dextrin — comparable fibre with different tolerance
- Inulin — texture benefit plus fibre
- Maltitol and polyols — sweet bulking with different labelling
- Isomalto-oligosaccharide — alternative bulking fibre
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Polydextrose
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Fibre content, residual glucose and sorbitol limits
- pH of a standard solution
- Moisture, particle size and bulk density
- Colour and solubility behaviour
- Documentation and certification required
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- Multi-wall paper or PP bag — the standard dry-ingredient format
- Jumbo / FIBC bulk bag for high-volume users
- Fibre drum or carton for oxygen- or moisture-sensitive grades
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store sealed, dry, off the floor and away from strong odours
- Keep food, feed and technical grades physically segregated
- Rotate stock and re-close partial bags immediately after use
- Keep sealed against humidity; the powder picks up water quickly
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact grade offered
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production batch
- Allergen, non-GMO, Halal and Kosher statements where the grade supports them
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of polydextrose+
Polydextrose is a randomly bonded glucose polymer that provides bulk and humectancy at a low caloric contribution. It replaces the physical volume, body and water-binding that sugar provides when sugar is removed, which is why it appears in most reduced-sugar reformulations.
Bulking is the primary job+
When sugar is removed, sweetness can be restored with a high-intensity sweetener, but the missing solids cannot. Polydextrose is specified to restore that mass, control water activity and keep texture close to the original product.
Plan the reformulation as a system+
Replacing sugar changes freezing point, browning, water activity and shelf life at the same time. Describe which of those matter most in your product so the supplier can advise on grade selection and typical addition levels for your category.
Documentation and specification+
Functional values differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
Does polydextrose count as dietary fibre?+
Fibre declaration depends on the applicable regulation and the supplier's documented analysis for the grade quoted, which is provided for your review.
Can it fully replace sugar?+
It replaces bulk, not sweetness. Most reformulations pair it with a sweetener system.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
Can you deliver to Ontario and Quebec food plants?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
