What it is

Carrageenan is a food additive made from red seaweed. It is a type of carbohydrate that is extracted and purified from the seaweed. The resulting product is a white to yellowish powder.

Why it's used

Carrageenan is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in many food products. It helps to give foods a desirable texture and prevent ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as in processed meats and beverages.

Health notes

Carrageenan is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated carrageenan. Some studies have raised concerns about potential health effects, particularly regarding inflammation and digestive issues, but these findings have been debated, and evidence from human studies at typical consumption levels is mixed. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects.

Allergen info

Carrageenan is derived from seaweed and is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
