What it is

Nisin is a natural antimicrobial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis. It is produced through fermentation and then purified. Nisin preparations are often blended with other ingredients, such as salt or dextrose, to improve stability and handling.

Why it's used

Nisin acts as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria, yeasts, and molds. This helps to extend the shelf life of foods. It is commonly found in dairy products, processed meats, canned goods, and baked goods.

Health notes

Nisin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as an antimicrobial agent in various foods. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated nisin. Evidence suggests it is broken down during digestion and does not accumulate in the body. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at approved levels.

Allergen info

Nisin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
