What it is

Sodium caseinate is a protein derived from milk. It is made by reacting casein, the main protein in milk, with sodium hydroxide. This process makes it soluble in water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sodium caseinate to foods as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. It helps to blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water, and improves texture. It is often found in dairy products, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels found in food.

Allergen info

Sodium caseinate is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
