Is modified food starch keto?

What it is

Modified food starch is corn, tapioca, potato or wheat starch that has been treated to behave better in processed food: thicker sauces, smoother frozen desserts, dressings that do not separate.

In most products it is still a digestible starch and counts in full. A few specially made resistant starches act as fiber, and those labels usually say “resistant.”
