What it is

Sodium triphosphate is a salt made from sodium and phosphoric acid. It is a white powder or crystalline solid that dissolves easily in water. It is manufactured industrially.

Why it's used

Sodium triphosphate is used in processed foods to help retain moisture, improve texture, and prevent spoilage. It is often found in dairy products, seafood, and meats to improve their quality and shelf life.

Health notes

Sodium triphosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. While it is a source of phosphorus, which is an essential nutrient, excessive phosphorus intake from all sources can be a concern for individuals with kidney disease.
