Non Gmo Aluminum Free Baking Powder

Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent used in baking. It is a mixture of a base (like baking soda), an acid salt (like cream of tartar or sodium aluminum sulfate), and a filler (like cornstarch). When mixed with liquid and heated, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which makes baked goods rise.

Baking powder is added to baked goods to make them light and fluffy. It is commonly found in cake mixes, cookie mixes, muffin mixes, and pancake mixes. It provides leavening, helping batters expand during baking.

Baking powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The FDA has approved various forms of baking powder ingredients. JECFA has evaluated some components and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
