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.
