Overview

E203 - Calcium sorbate

Calcium sorbate (E203) is a preservative used to slow the growth of molds and yeasts in foods. It is the calcium salt of sorbic acid, so in foods it behaves like other “sorbates” once it dissolves. Many countries allow it in a range of products to help keep them fresh longer.

E556 - Calcium aluminium silicate

Calcium aluminium silicate (E556) is an anti-caking agent that helps dry foods like salt and seasoning blends stay free-flowing. It is a synthetic mineral-like powder from the aluminosilicate family and is used in very small amounts. European regulators have set specifications and reviewed its safety for use in foods.
