E515II - Potassium hydrogen sulphate

Potassium hydrogen sulphate (E515II) is a food-grade acid salt used to control acidity in foods and drinks. Also called potassium bisulphate, it adjusts pH, which helps with taste, texture, and shelf stability when used in small, approved amounts. It is authorized as a food additive in the European Union.
