Calcium citrates

Harm level1 of 5No concern

In plain words

Calcium citrates are calcium salts of citric acid and also a source of calcium. They are added to regulate acidity, firm texture and fortify foods such as plant-based drinks, juices and canned vegetables.

Where you find it: jams, canned vegetables, plant drinks

No need to avoid them.

Possible risks and effects

  • No relevant risk known at normal intake.

For experts

Mono-, di- and tricalcium salts of citric acid; acidity regulator, firming agent and sequestrant. Calcium from citrate is well absorbed, so calcium citrate is also used in supplements. It is permitted at quantum satis in the EU and is not considered a safety concern.
