What it is
Sodium bisulfate, also known as sodium acid sulfate, is an acidic salt. It is produced industrially by reacting sulfuric acid with sodium chloride or sodium carbonate. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water.
Why it's used
Sodium bisulfate functions as an acidity regulator and a preservative. It is used to lower the pH of foods, which helps to inhibit microbial growth and extend shelf life. It is commonly found in fruit and vegetable juices, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
In the US, sodium bisulfate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is an acidic substance, and high concentrations can cause irritation. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated its safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at the levels typically found in food.
Allergen info
Sodium bisulfate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
