My February 16, 2020, Inquiry to the FDA Re:

"If a food product
contains "starch," is the manufacturer required to list the source of
that starch; e.g., tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, wheat starch,
rice starch, etc.?"

"The Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA) Food and Cosmetic Information Center (FCIC)/Technical
Assistance Network (TAN) has prepared a response for case number 226516.
