What it is

Mono calcium phosphate is a salt made from calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen. It is produced commercially by reacting calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid. It is a white powder that is odorless and tasteless.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mono calcium phosphate to foods as a leavening agent, meaning it helps baked goods rise and become fluffy. It is commonly found in baking powders, self-rising flour, and mixes for cakes, cookies, and pancakes.

Health notes

Mono calcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It is a source of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for bone health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated it. Typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Mono calcium phosphate is not derived from any of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
