What it is
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced commercially through the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as corn starch or beet sugar, by lactic acid bacteria. It appears as a white crystalline powder or as a colorless liquid.
Why it's used
Sodium lactate is used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in processed meats, poultry, and fish. It helps to control pH, extend shelf life, and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. It can also be found in baked goods, dairy products, and some beverages.
Health notes
Sodium lactate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a food additive. It is also approved for use in the European Union. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. It is a common substance in the body, involved in energy metabolism.
Allergen info
Sodium lactate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
