A Blend Of Calcium And Vitamins To Maintain Color

This ingredient is a mixture of calcium compounds and vitamins designed to help preserve the color of food. The specific vitamins and calcium sources can vary, but they work together to prevent browning or fading in certain food products.

Manufacturers add this blend to help maintain the visual appeal of foods, especially those containing fruits or vegetables that might otherwise discolor. It is commonly found in products like pre-packaged fruit snacks, pickles, olives, and relishes.

Calcium and vitamins are essential nutrients. The FDA generally recognizes calcium and many vitamins as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many vitamins and minerals. At typical intake levels found in food, these ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects.
