What it is

Calcium gluconate is a mineral salt of gluconic acid. It is produced by the reaction of gluconic acid with a calcium source, such as calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. It is often found in white crystalline powder or granules.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add calcium gluconate to foods as a firming agent, nutrient supplement, and stabilizer. It helps maintain the texture of fruits and vegetables during processing and is often found in beverages, baked goods, and chewing gum.

Health notes

Calcium gluconate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium, an essential nutrient. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated calcium gluconate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on its effects at typical dietary intakes is consistent with its role as a calcium source.

Allergen info
