What it is

Baking soda is a white crystalline powder. It is a form of sodium bicarbonate, a salt that occurs naturally in minerals. It is manufactured for commercial use.

Why it's used

Baking soda is used as a leavening agent in baked goods. When heated or combined with an acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. It is commonly found in cake mixes, cookies, and other baked products.

Health notes

Baking soda is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient in many foods and is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium bicarbonate. It is not known to be a major allergen.

Allergen info

Baking soda is not a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
