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.

E948 - Oxygen

Oxygen (E948) is a colorless, odorless gas used in food packaging to help keep some foods looking and tasting their best. In “modified atmosphere packaging” (MAP), it can be added to the headspace of a pack, especially for red meats, to support a bright, appealing color and maintain product quality. It is the same oxygen found in air, but supplied at food-grade purity for safety.
