Each Of The Following: Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate

Sodium acid pyrophosphate is a white, crystalline powder. It is a salt made from phosphoric acid, a chemical found naturally in the body and in many foods. It is manufactured through a chemical process.

This ingredient acts as a leavening agent, meaning it helps baked goods rise. It is often used in combination with baking soda in products like breads, cakes, and muffins to create a lighter texture. It can also be used to preserve color and prevent spoilage in processed meats and seafood.

Sodium acid pyrophosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of phosphorus, which is an essential mineral. JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake. Consuming high amounts of phosphorus from food sources is generally not a concern for healthy individuals, but those with kidney disease may need to limit their intake.
