What is Polysorbate 80?

Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic water-soluble nonionic surfactant (see below) used in food production to emulsify oils. In other words, it helps to prevents fats from separating.

You will often find Polysorbate 80 listed as an ingredient in frozen desserts, baking mixes, and canned vegetables.

This additive is also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Note: A surfactant is a chemical compound that decreases tension between two liquids. Non-ionic surfactants are not electrically charged thus improving the ability to mix and emulsify oils.

Other fast food menu items and packaged foods with Polysorbate 80 in their list of ingredients include:
