Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose and the Soy Free Diet

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, also known as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose, which is a natural carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. It is widely used in the food industry due to its ability to thicken, stabilize, and emulsify products. This ingredient helps to improve the texture and shelf-life of foods and is commonly found in items such as ice cream, sauces, and baked goods.
