What is Calcium Propionate?

Calcium propionate is an organic salt formed through a reaction between calcium hydroxide* and propionic acid*.

It is used to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, which extends the shelf life of foods.

Calcium propionate is used by manufacturers in the production of various food types.  The most common is breads, pastries, and other baked goods. The additive is often used in cheeses, yogurt, alcohol, and processed meats.

If you want to learn more about calcium propionate, I recommend Healthline’s article, which describes the salt in more detail and addresses whether calcium propionate is safe to eat.

*Note: Calcium hydroxide (also known as slaked lime) is created when calcium oxide is mixed with water.  It’s often used in pickling foods. Propionic acid is a fatty acid used in food preservation.
