What it is
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced commercially by the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as corn starch or beet sugar, by lactic acid bacteria. It is a clear, colorless liquid or crystalline solid.
Why it's used
Sodium lactate is used as a preservative and flavoring agent in a variety of foods. It helps to extend shelf life by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. It is commonly found in processed meats, poultry, and fish, as well as in baked goods and some dairy products.
Health notes
Sodium lactate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated sodium lactate and found it to be safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its use at typical levels found in food.
Allergen info
Sodium lactate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
