What it is

Dipotassium phosphate is a salt made from potassium and phosphate. It is produced industrially by reacting phosphoric acid with potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide. It appears as a white powder or colorless crystals.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
