Calcium Carbonate Food Grade

Calcium Carbonate Food Grade is used as a mineral supplement fortification agent and processing aid in food and feed.

Calcium Carbonate Food Grade is a high-purity, white, odorless powder derived from limestone, used extensively as a food additive (E170), nutritional supplement, and strengthening agent. It contains 40% elemental calcium, making it an efficient source for calcium fortification in foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. It is safe for human consumption, acting as a firming agent, stabilizer, and pH regulator in products like baked goods, confectionery, and dairy. 
Key Applications of Food Grade Calcium Carbonate: 
Food Additive (E170/INS 170): Used as a white pigment for coatings, a bulking agent, or to improve texture and crispiness in baked goods and cereal.
Nutritional Supplement: Common in tablet form or powder to treat calcium deficiency.
Antacid: Effectively reduces stomach acid, indigestion, and heartburn.
Brewing: Used to adjust the pH and soften water in beer or wine production.
Other Uses: Ingredient in homemade toothpaste, calcium fortification for pet food, and soil neutralization in horticulture. 

Key Features: 
Highest Calcium Concentration: Contains 40% elemental calcium by weight.
Safety & Compliance: High-purity, often meeting HALAAL and KOSHER standards.
Forms: Available in various particle sizes, typically ranging from 2 to 200 microns (e.g., fine powder for consistent blending). 

Safety Information:
While generally safe, excessive consumption can lead to hypercalcemia and digestive problems. Ensure the product specifically states “food grade” or “E170” to ensure it is suitable for consumption rather than industrial use.
