What it is
Natamycin is a natural antifungal compound produced by the bacterium *Streptomyces natalensis*. It is typically produced through fermentation and then purified for use as a food ingredient.
Why it's used
Natamycin is used as a preservative to prevent the growth of mold and yeast on the surface of foods. It is commonly found on the exterior of cheeses and cured meats, and can also be used in some baked goods and dairy products.
Health notes
In the US, natamycin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an antifungal agent. It is poorly absorbed by the body when consumed orally. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated natamycin and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Natamycin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
