Characteristics

Additive NamePotassium lactate
E No.E 326
TypeIndividual Substance
In plain language

The potassium salt of lactic acid — a naturally occurring acid found in fermented foods like yogurt and sauerkraut. Acts as an acidity regulator and preservative, helping extend shelf life and maintain moisture in meat products, bread, and canned vegetables. It also serves as a sodium substitute, making it useful in reduced-sodium formulations. Generally considered safe by EFSA and FDA, with no established intake limits for healthy adults. As a potassium source, it may be a concern for people with kidney disease who need to limit potassium intake.
