What it is

Acid regulators are substances used to change or maintain the acidity (pH) of foods. They can be naturally occurring or synthetically produced. Their production methods vary widely depending on the specific acid regulator.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add acid regulators to control the tartness, preserve food, and improve flavor. They are commonly found in beverages like sodas, processed fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and baked goods. They help maintain the stability and texture of many food products.

Health notes

Many acid regulators are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of these substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, excessive intake of any food additive is not recommended. Evidence regarding specific health effects at high doses is often limited or mixed.
