Vitamin & Mineral Blend: Calcium Phosphate

Calcium phosphate is a compound that includes calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen. It occurs naturally in bones and teeth and is also found in some foods. It can be produced commercially by reacting calcium compounds with phosphoric acid.

Manufacturers add calcium phosphate to foods as a nutrient supplement, to improve texture, and to help with browning. It is commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, and cereals.

Calcium phosphate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient or for technical purposes. It is a source of essential minerals, calcium and phosphorus, which are important for bone health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated calcium phosphates. No significant health concerns are associated with typical dietary intake.
