Controls how acidic or alkaline a food is.

Keeps the proteins in cheese evenly dispersed so it melts smoothly.

Regulatory position
European Union
Authorised for use in food
Authorisation in one country says nothing about another, and the absence of a record here is not evidence either way. Where precision matters, follow the citation to the regulation itself.
