E507 – Hydrochloric acid
E507 hydrochloric acid is a food acidity regulator and pH control agent. It is generally low concern in regulated food use, but concentrated acid is corrosive.
-
E335 – Sodium tartrates
E335 sodium tartrates regulate acidity and texture in foods. They are GREEN - SAFE at normal use, but high doses add sodium and a mouse study raises an indirect gut-immune concern.
-
E334 – Tartaric acid
E334 tartaric acid controls acidity and adds a sharp sour taste to foods and drinks. Food-grade L(+)-tartaric acid is GREEN - SAFE at permitted use levels.
-
E332 – Potassium citrates
E332 potassium citrates regulate acidity and stabilise foods and drinks. They are considered safe at normal food-use levels, with caution mainly for high supplemental potassium doses.
-
E331 – Sodium citrates
E331 sodium citrates are used as acidity regulators, buffers, and emulsifying salts. They are generally safe at normal food-use levels, with caution mainly for high supplemental intake or sodium restriction.
-
E325 – Sodium lactate
E325 (sodium lactate) is a lactate salt used mainly as an acidity regulator and antimicrobial support, especially in processed meats. It is generally considered low risk for most people. Main practical concern is added sodium in some foods.
-
E296 – Malic Acid
E296 (Malic Acid) is a naturally occurring organic acid found in fruits such as apples and grapes. It is widely used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer with a strong safety record. Regulatory agencies classify it as safe, and independent research supports good tolerance at normal dietary levels. Safety grade: GREEN – SAFE.
-
E270 – Lactic acid
Lactic acid (E270) is a widely used acidity regulator and preservative. This summary explains its safety grade (GREEN), common uses, science and production, and where it is allowed.
