What it is

Disodium phosphate is a salt made from phosphoric acid and sodium. It is often produced industrially by reacting phosphoric acid with a sodium source. It is a common food additive used for various purposes in food processing.

Why it's used

Disodium phosphate is used as an acidity regulator, emulsifier, and to improve texture in foods. It helps prevent clumping, stabilize ingredients, and enhance the melting properties of cheese. It is found in dairy products, processed meats, and baked goods.

Health notes

Disodium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of phosphorus, an essential mineral. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated disodium phosphate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
