What is Calcium Lactate?

It is commonly used in the food industry as a firming agent, leavening agent, or to fortify foods with calcium. It is water-soluble and does not impart any flavor to the food products.

Why People Avoid Calcium Lactate
Calcium lactate may be derived from or processed using corn, which is a concern for individuals on a corn-free diet. While calcium lactate itself does not inherently contain corn, the manufacturing process could involve corn-derived ingredients or enzymes. Therefore, it is important for individuals with corn allergies or sensitivities to verify the source by contacting the manufacturer to ensure it is corn-free.
