Sodium Caseinate And Disodium Phosphate

Sodium caseinate is a protein derived from milk. It is made by reacting casein, the main protein in milk, with a sodium compound. Disodium phosphate is a salt made from phosphoric acid and sodium.

Sodium caseinate is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in foods. Disodium phosphate is used as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and to control acidity. They are often found together in processed foods like dairy-based products, baked goods, and meat products.

Sodium caseinate and disodium phosphate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are common food ingredients and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these ingredients. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns for most people when consumed in typical amounts.
