What it is

Sulfates are salts or esters of sulfuric acid, a strong acid. In food, they often appear as mineral salts like sodium sulfate or calcium sulfate. These compounds are naturally found in some foods and in the environment.

Sulfates can be used as acidity regulators or firming agents in some food products. They may also be used in processing certain ingredients. Sulfates are found in a variety of baked goods and processed foods.

Health notes

Sulfate 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 sulfates and established acceptable daily intakes. High intakes of certain sulfates can have a laxative effect.
