What it is

Sodium caseinate is a milk-derived protein. It is made by treating casein, the main protein in milk, with sodium hydroxide. This process makes it soluble in water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sodium caseinate to foods as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. It helps ingredients blend together smoothly and improves texture. It is often found in dairy products, processed meats, and baked goods.

Health notes

Sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Sodium caseinate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
