In plain language

A synthetic emulsifier that helps fats and water mix smoothly, preventing separation. You'll mainly find it in ice cream and similar frozen desserts, where it improves texture and keeps the product stable. Generally recognised as safe at the low levels used in food. EFSA has set an acceptable daily intake, and it's only authorised in a very limited number of food categories — suggesting regulators keep its use intentionally narrow.
