With Sorbic Acid And Calcium Disodium EDTA As Preservatives

Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound, often produced industrially through chemical synthesis. It is a white crystalline solid used primarily as a food preservative.

Sorbic acid and its salts (like potassium sorbate) are widely used to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria in foods. They are effective in a variety of products, including baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, and beverages.

Sorbic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food preservative. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sorbic acid and its salts, finding them safe for consumption within established limits. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild allergic reactions or sensitivities.
