Modified starch is actually a name added to any starch which has been altered (or "modified") so that is has more desirable properties. E.g "thickens at a lower temperature", or "doesn't taste floury" etc...
However, what all modified starches have in common is that they are used as thickeners (or occasionally emulsifiers). Typically they are used to thicken sauces (such as custard or gravy) or "instant" foods (e.g cuppa soup, Hot Chocolate, and other things which you just add hot water/hot milk to).
Modified starches are a surprisingly useful group of foods, since even a tiny amount can make quite a difference to the "mouthfeel" (or texture) of a dish. They can be used to create a taste of richness and smoothness but without the calories.

When a food label reads "modified food starch", they are telling you that there is some kind of starch in the product. It could be wheat starch, corn starch, tapioca starch, rice starch, etc. What you should do if you see modified food starch is call the 800 number on the pack of the product and specifically ask them what kind of starch is in that product. In North America, modified food starch is safe for celiacs. In other countries, you must contact to find out which starch it is from.

I believe that Chicklets Fruit Flavored Gum is not Gluten Free, because of its Modified Food Starch. When The Ingredients Label lists Modified Corn Starch, that is okay. Or even Modified Food Starch (Corn), is fine. But plain old Modified Food Starch is the thing to avoid if Gluten Intolerant. :)
