Is Calcium Lactate Vegan?
CautionSometimes. Lactate or calcium lactate (or e327) refers to the calcium salt of lactic acid. It may be derived from milk.
Calcium Lactate and the Vegan Diet
Calcium lactate is a white, crystalline salt produced by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. It is used in the food industry as a firming agent, stabilizer, and preservative. Although lactic acid is naturally found in milk, commercial calcium lactate can be derived from non-dairy sources such as fermented beet sugar, making it acceptable for vegans when specified.
