What it is
Stabilizers are substances that help keep food ingredients from separating, such as oil and water in salad dressing. They can be natural or synthetic. Stabilizers can also help improve the texture and consistency of foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add stabilizers to prevent ingredients from separating and to improve texture. They are often found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as in sauces, dressings, and baked goods.
Health notes
Many common stabilizers are recognized as safe by the FDA. For example, gums like guar gum and xanthan gum are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated many stabilizers. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Some stabilizers are derived from plant sources like corn, soy, or seaweed, but these are not considered major allergens.
