E343AcidulantModerate concern
Magnesium Phosphate
In plain words
The short version
Magnesium phosphate salts — anti-caking, supplement fortifier, and mineral source.
Why we flag it amber
It's permitted and generally considered safe, but there are a few reasons to be mindful — like sensitivities in some people, debated studies, or intake limits. The Safety section below explains the specifics.
Safety profile
ADI of 40 mg/kg body weight (combined added phosphates, EFSA 2019). Magnesium contribution can offer a small benefit; phosphate fraction stacks against the cumulative added-phosphate concern.
