What it is
Tricalcium phosphate is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid. It is found naturally in bones and teeth. In food production, it is typically manufactured from calcium carbonate and phosphoric acid.

Health notes
Tricalcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated tricalcium phosphate. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
