What it is

And Sodium Phosphate is a chemical compound that combines the elements phosphorus, oxygen, and sodium. It is a salt derived from phosphoric acid. It is manufactured industrially for use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods to help with moisture retention, improve texture, and act as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water. It is commonly found in processed meats, cheeses, baked goods, and seafood.

Health notes

And Sodium Phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. Some research suggests that high intake of phosphates, particularly from processed foods, may be linked to negative health outcomes in certain populations, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
