What it is

Calcium and sodium caseinate are proteins derived from milk. They are made by separating casein, the main protein in milk, from whey and then treating it with calcium and sodium compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add calcium and sodium caseinate for their protein content and to improve texture and stability in foods. They are often found in baked goods, dairy products, and nutritional supplements.

Health notes

Calcium and sodium caseinate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caseinate, and it is permitted for use in many food applications. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Calcium and sodium caseinate are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
