What it is
Lactic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in milk and other foods. It is produced commercially through the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as corn starch or beet sugar, by specific bacteria. The resulting liquid is then purified and can be used in various food applications.
Why it's used
Lactic acid is primarily used as an acidity regulator and preservative in foods. It contributes a mild, sour taste and helps to inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms. It is commonly found in dairy products, pickled vegetables, sauces, and processed meats.
Health notes
Lactic acid is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a normal product of metabolism in the human body. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lactic acid and its salts. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Lactic acid is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
