What it is
Carrageenan is a food additive made from red seaweed. It is processed to extract a powder that is tasteless, odorless, and white.
Why it's used
Carrageenan is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many foods. It helps prevent ingredients from separating and gives products a smooth texture. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as in processed meats and plant-based milk alternatives.
Health notes
Carrageenan is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies have raised concerns about potential digestive issues, but regulatory bodies like the WHO's JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carrageenan and found it safe at typical consumption levels. Evidence on its long-term health effects is mixed, and research is ongoing.
Allergen info
Carrageenan is derived from seaweed and is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
