Overview

Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) is a common binding syrup used frequently in protein bars that claim low sugar content. In powder form, it may also appear in breakfast foods such as cereal. It is the subject of recent controversy due to the recent FDA ruling that IMO can no longer be declared as a dietary fiber. For the consumer, it means IMO must be treated as a digestable carbohydrate at 4 calories/gram.
