Pineapple Fibre
Also known as: pineapple fibres
Pineapple fibre is a whole-fruit-derived dietary fiber (predominantly insoluble) with associated benefits on digestive health, satiety and cholesterol. Pineapple-derived bromelain (separately) is GRAS-recognized.
What it is
Dietary fiber derived from pineapple (Ananas comosus) by-products (core, peel, pulp), rich in insoluble fiber.
Source of insoluble dietary fiber, texture/bulking agent.
Why it's flagged
- pineapple allergy in sensitive individuals
- bromelain content (in some preparations) is proteolytic
What regulators actually say
"Pineapple by-products are naturally rich in carbohydrates (66-88%), with insoluble (16-28%) and soluble (2-4%) fiber, and minerals (4-5%)."
"Bromelain is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and has not been linked to serum aminotransferase elevations nor to instances of clinically apparent liver injury."
