Health notes
Many common pH control agents are recognized as safe by the FDA. For example, citric acid and lactic acid are widely used and considered safe. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various pH control substances. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, excessive intake of highly acidic or alkaline substances could potentially cause irritation.
