What it is
Polysorbate 60 is a synthetic emulsifier made from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and stearic acid (a fatty acid). It is produced through a chemical process that combines these ingredients. It appears as a pale yellow, viscous liquid or waxy solid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Polysorbate 60 as an emulsifier to help mix oil and water-based ingredients, preventing separation in foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, ice cream, whipped toppings, and non-dairy creamers.
Health notes
In the U.S., Polysorbate 60 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an emulsifier. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated it. Studies in animals have looked at its effects, but evidence on significant health impacts in humans at typical dietary levels is limited.
Allergen info
Polysorbate 60 is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
