What it is
Sodium stearyl-2-lactylate is a synthetic food additive made from the reaction of lactic acid with stearic acid, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. It is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water.
Why it's used
It is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and dough conditioner in baked goods, powdered mixes, and dairy products. It helps to improve texture, volume, and shelf life by preventing ingredients from separating and creating a smoother consistency.

Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated it and found it safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at these levels.
