A synthetic emulsifier that helps mix water and oil-based ingredients, preventing separation. Found in a narrow range of products — mainly jams, jellies, and marmalades, where it helps maintain texture and consistency. Considered safe at permitted levels by EFSA and FDA. Not widely controversial. Used in small amounts, so exposure is generally low for most people.
