What it is
Potassium phosphate is a salt made from potassium and phosphate. Cellulose gum, also known as carboxymethyl cellulose, is a modified form of cellulose, a fiber found in plants. Both are manufactured for use as food ingredients.
Why it's used
Potassium phosphate is often used as an acidity regulator, stabilizer, or emulsifier. Cellulose gum is primarily used as a thickener and stabilizer. They are commonly found together in processed foods like ice cream, dairy products, and baked goods to improve texture and prevent separation.
Health notes
Both potassium phosphate and cellulose gum are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Potassium phosphate is a source of phosphorus, an essential mineral. High intake of phosphorus from supplements or processed foods can be a concern for individuals with kidney disease. JECFA has evaluated potassium phosphates and set an acceptable daily intake. Cellulose gum has been evaluated by EFSA and JECFA; neither set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Neither potassium phosphate nor cellulose gum are derived from one of the nine major allergens. Cellulose gum is plant-derived and does not contain gluten.
