Sodium Benzoate

Sodium Benzoate is a sodium salt that occurring naturally in some foods, but is also widely used as a chemical preservative. Sodium benzoate is a common ingredient in highly processed foods such as carbonated sodas, vinegar, fruit juices; in mixed ingredients like salad dressings; and to stop the fermentation process in wines. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Health Protection Branch in Canada (HPB) report that in low doses it is safe for consumption, currently the FDA permits a maximum of 0.1% benzoate in foods. On its own, it is not considered toxic, and studies show no adverse health effects in humans under normal conditions.
