What it is

Calcium and sodium caseinates are proteins derived from milk. They are made by treating casein, the main protein in milk, with calcium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide.

Why it's used

These ingredients act as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and texturizers in processed foods. They help blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water, and improve the texture and mouthfeel of products such as baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.

Health notes

In the U.S., calcium and sodium caseinates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caseinates, and their evaluations are available. There are no widespread controversies regarding their use at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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