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 by heating sodium acid pyrophosphate.

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated disodium diphosphate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
