What it is

Sodium phosphate is a salt made from sodium and phosphate. Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, typically derived from corn. When combined, they form a mixture used in food processing.

Why it's used

This combination is often used in processed meats and other foods to help retain moisture, improve texture, and act as a preservative. It can also contribute to flavor and color stability in products like deli meats, pickles, and olives.

Health notes

Sodium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Phosphates are naturally present in the body and many foods. However, some research suggests that high intake of phosphates from processed foods, compared to those naturally occurring in foods, may be linked to negative health outcomes in certain individuals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated phosphates, and their use is permitted within established food regulations.

Allergen info

Neither sodium phosphate nor dextrose are derived from the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
