What it is
Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, derived from corn. Sodium phosphate is a salt made from sodium and phosphate. Together, they are often used in food processing.
Why it's used
This combination acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in foods, and can also improve texture and flavor. It is frequently found in processed meats like pepperoni and salami, as well as in frozen appetizers and prepared meals.
Health notes
Dextrose is a source of carbohydrates and energy. Sodium phosphate is a mineral that plays a role in many bodily functions. Both are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated phosphates, and while generally considered safe, excessive intake of phosphates from all sources can be a concern for some individuals, particularly those with kidney issues.
Allergen info
Dextrose and sodium phosphate are not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
