What it is
Carrageenan is a food additive made from red seaweed. It is extracted from the seaweed and processed to create a powder.
Why it's used
Carrageenan is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many foods. It helps to give products a smooth texture and prevent ingredients from separating. It is often found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as processed meats.
Health notes
In the U.S., carrageenan is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies have raised questions about its potential effects on digestion, but regulatory bodies like the FDA have reviewed the available evidence. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also evaluated carrageenan, and it is permitted for use in the EU.
Allergen info
Carrageenan is derived from seaweed and is not one of the major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
