Health notes
Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Lactic acid is also GRAS and is considered safe for consumption. Both are naturally occurring substances or produced through fermentation, and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at levels found in food. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lactic acid and found it safe.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Enzymes are proteins, but the source microorganisms are typically removed during processing. Lactic acid is not derived from major allergens.
