What it is
Calcium is a mineral that is essential for life. It is naturally found in foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fish. In food processing, it can be added as a nutrient or to affect texture.
Why it's used
Calcium compounds are added to foods to increase their calcium content, serving as a nutrient fortification. They can also be used as firming agents in fruits and vegetables, or as stabilizers in dairy products and baked goods.
Health notes
Calcium is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. The National Academies have established a tolerable upper intake level for calcium. JECFA has evaluated various calcium compounds and established acceptable daily intakes. Adequate calcium intake is important for bone health.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Calcium itself is a mineral and does not contain allergens. However, if it is derived from dairy sources, it may be unsuitable for those with milk allergies.
