What it is

Sodium caseinate is a protein derived from milk. It is made by treating casein, the main protein in milk, with a sodium compound. This process makes the casein soluble in water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sodium caseinate as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. It helps ingredients mix well and prevents separation in foods like coffee creamers, baked goods, and processed meats. It is also used to add protein to foods.

Health notes

In the U.S., sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium caseinate. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Sodium caseinate is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
