What is Polysorbate 80?

Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic water-soluble nonionic surfactant* used in food production to emulsify oils. It helps to prevent fats from separating.

The additive is used in frozen desserts, baking mixes, and canned vegetables. It’s also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Other fast food menu items made with Polysorbate 80 include:

*A surfactant is a chemical compound that decreases tension between liquids. Non-ionic surfactants are not electrically charged and improve the ability to mix and emulsify oils.
