Diphosphates (E450) are a group of salts made from phosphoric acid, including disodium diphosphate (sodium acid pyrophosphate) and tetrasodium diphosphate. They are used in biscuits, cakes and ready-made doughs to react with bicarbonate and make the dough rise, in sausages and meat products to help retain water and control texture, and in processed cheese to keep it smooth. They are made by reacting phosphoric acid with sodium, potassium or calcium compounds. It is a source of phosphate; phosphates are among the substances people with kidney disease need to limit, and high intake from phosphate additives is under discussion. Those that contain sodium also add to salt intake.

What is this ingredient?

Polyphosphates (E452) are a group of salts made of many phosphate units linked in a chain, the most common being sodium polyphosphate. They are used as emulsifying salts (a salt that stops fat separating in processed cheese) in processed and cream cheeses to keep them smooth, and in meat and chicken products to help retain water and control texture. They are made by reacting phosphoric acid with sodium, potassium or calcium compounds and heating the result to a high temperature. It is a source of phosphate; phosphates are among the substances people with kidney disease need to limit, and high intake from phosphate additives is under discussion. Those that contain sodium also add to salt intake.

Ascorbic acid (E300), also known as vitamin C, is used in food as an antioxidant. It is used in fruit juices, meat products, crisps, dried vegetables and baked goods to prevent changes in colour and flavour, and in dough as a flour treatment agent; it is also added to some products as a source of vitamin C. Industrially, it is made from glucose by fermentation (a natural process using microbes such as yeast or bacteria) and chemical processing. As it is vitamin C, it is a source of the vitamin; no adverse effects are known at the amounts used in food.

What is this ingredient?

Sodium ascorbate (E301) is the sodium salt of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and is used in food as an antioxidant. It helps preserve colour, especially in meat products such as salami, sausages and doner; it is also added to some products as a source of vitamin C. It is made by neutralising ascorbic acid with sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate. It is a source of vitamin C; as it contains sodium it can add slightly to salt intake in very large amounts, but no adverse effects are known at the amounts used in food.

What is this ingredient?

Sodium nitrite is used in processed meats such as sucuk, salami, sausages and pastırma to stop harmful bacteria from growing, especially the bacterium that causes deadly food poisoning (botulism), and to give the meat its pinkish-red colour. It is made synthetically in the laboratory. Nitrites can turn into substances called nitrosamines in the stomach or when meat is cooked at high temperatures; some nitrosamines are known to cause cancer in animal studies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, classifies nitrite and nitrate taken in under these conditions as probably carcinogenic to humans, and in 2015 it classified processed meat as carcinogenic, based on studies linking its consumption to bowel cancer. For this reason, in 2023 the European Union lowered the permitted amounts of nitrites and nitrates in meat, fish and cheese products.
