Triammonium Citrate
In plain words
The short version
The ammonium salt of citric acid — common processed-cheese melting salt.
Why it's green
It's widely considered safe at the amounts used in food, so we mark it green. The Safety section below has the details.
Safety profile
ADI not specified — considered safe at typical use levels. Ammonium is metabolized in the urea cycle; the dose from food use is well below any nitrogen-load threshold for healthy individuals (matters more for patients with liver-cycle disorders).
