What it is
Polysorbate 60 is a synthetic emulsifier made from sorbitol and stearic acid, which are derived from plant or animal sources. It is a mixture of polyoxyethylene ethers of sorbitan fatty acid esters. It helps to combine oil and water ingredients in foods.
Why it's used
Polysorbate 60 is added to foods to keep ingredients like oil and water from separating, a process called emulsification. It is commonly found in baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, and pastries, as well as in ice cream and whipped toppings.
Health notes
Polysorbate 60 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as an emulsifier. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated its safety. Studies have looked at its potential effects, but evidence regarding significant health impacts at typical consumption levels is mixed or limited.
Allergen info
Polysorbate 60 is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
