Non-gmo Baking Powder Sodium Phosphate

Sodium phosphate is a salt made from sodium and phosphoric acid. It is often produced by reacting phosphoric acid with a sodium-containing base. It is commonly used in food as a leavening agent, meaning it helps baked goods rise.

Sodium phosphate is added to baked goods to help them rise during baking, acting as a leavening agent. It can also help control acidity. It is found in products like muffins, croissants, and sweet rolls.

Sodium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of phosphorus, an essential mineral. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium phosphates and established acceptable daily intakes. High intake of phosphates, particularly from supplements or processed foods, may be a concern for individuals with kidney problems, but typical dietary intake from food is generally considered safe.
