E 466Thickeners, Stabilisers & Emulsifiers

Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, cellulose gum

Characteristics

Additive NameSodium carboxy methyl cellulose, cellulose gum
E No.E 466
TypeIndividual Substance
In plain language

A synthetic thickener and stabilizer made by chemically modifying cellulose — the structural fiber found in plant cell walls. It helps prevent separation, improve texture, and extend shelf life in creams, nectars, and tabletop sweeteners. Generally recognized as safe by EFSA and FDA. It passes through the digestive system largely unabsorbed, similar to dietary fiber. Some animal studies at very high doses suggested gut microbiome effects, but typical food amounts are considered harmless.
