Food glazing agents are food additives, also known as polishing agents, which when applied over food items, give a shiny, polished, and protective coating to foods, especially to fruits, bakery, and confectionery products. Food glazing agents are prepared from both natural (plant or animal) and artificial sources.

The products enhance characteristics such as coating ability, anti-sticking, binding, and film-forming could be animal/insect derived. These are not required by law to be disclosed to the consumer as an ingredient. For this reason, we DO require documentation on finishing agents, if applicable, on ingredients and final product (but not on raw materials or subingredients).
