Tapioca is not defined by AAFCO.  The Natures Variety Learning Center defines tapioca as an all natural ingredient that is extracted from the root of the cassava plant via a series of washing, peeling, grating, and drying steps, a process that removes any cyanogenic glycosides. Tapioca is a unique, 98% digestible, grain-free, gluten-free starch.
