Characteristics

Additive NameSodium ascorbate

E No.E 301

TypeIndividual Substance

In plain language

The sodium salt of vitamin C — a natural antioxidant used to prevent browning, preserve colour, and extend shelf life. Found in cured meats, frozen vegetables, canned fruits, fish products, and bread. It also helps the body absorb iron from food. Generally recognised as safe by EFSA, WHO, and FDA. Unlike pure vitamin C, it contains sodium, so people on low-sodium diets should be aware of it in heavily processed foods. No serious health concerns at typical food levels.
