What it is

Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder. It is a salt of carbonic acid, naturally occurring in mineral deposits. It is manufactured industrially through the Solvay process or by processing trona ore.

Why it's used

Sodium bicarbonate is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods, producing carbon dioxide gas when heated or combined with an acid. It also acts as an acidity regulator and a flavor enhancer in various food products, including mixes, seasonings, and savory items.

Health notes

In the U.S., sodium bicarbonate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It is used in small amounts in food and is not associated with adverse health effects at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium bicarbonate, and it is widely used globally.

Allergen info

Sodium bicarbonate is not a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
