Comparing E203 - Calcium sorbate vs E929 - acetone peroxide

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.

E929 - acetone peroxide

Acetone peroxide (E929) is a highly unstable organic peroxide best known for its extreme explosiveness, not for use in food. It is not authorized as a food additive in the European Union or the United States, and you should not find it on modern ingredient lists.[^1][^2][^3] Because of its severe safety risks, regulators and the food industry avoid it entirely.[^4]
