What it is
Sodium phosphate is a salt made from sodium and phosphate. It is often produced synthetically for use in food. It can be made from phosphoric acid and a sodium source.
Why it's used
Sodium phosphate is used to improve texture, retain moisture, and enhance flavor in processed foods. It is commonly found in canned soups, processed meats, and dairy products like cheese.
Health notes
Sodium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. High intake of phosphates, especially from processed foods, has been linked in some studies to negative health outcomes, particularly for individuals with kidney problems. However, the evidence is mixed, and more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated phosphates and set acceptable daily intakes.
