What it is

Disodium diphosphate is a salt made from phosphoric acid. It is a white powder that dissolves in water. It is often produced industrially.

Why it's used

Some research suggests high phosphate intake from processed foods may be a concern for certain populations, but this is an area of ongoing study.
