What it is
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder that can be found naturally or made chemically. Salt, or sodium chloride, is a mineral that is mined from the earth or obtained from evaporated seawater.
Why it's used
Sodium bicarbonate is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods, helping them rise, and as an acidity regulator. Salt is widely used to enhance flavor, act as a preservative, and improve texture in many processed foods.
Health notes
Both sodium bicarbonate and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated both and did not set a numeric limit for either, considering them safe at levels typically used in food. While sodium bicarbonate is generally consumed in small amounts, high intake of sodium from salt is a public health concern; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen.
