Product Applications

Calcium phosphate (mono-, di-, and tribasic; MCP, DCP, and TCP) is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) under 21 CFR 182.1217 and 182.8217 as multiple purpose food additive and nutrient when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice.
DCPD is used as a leavening agent in bakery products with a high set temperature such as cake and muffin mixes with high sugar contents. A slightly alkaline phosphate, DCPd releases acid at 135°F to react with sodium bicarbonate late in the baking process.
DCPD can be used for fortification as a calcium and/or phosphorus source in a wide variety of foods and beverages.
Calcium Phosphates (Mono-, di-, and tribasic) are allowed as ingredients in or on processed products labeled as ‘organic’ or ‘made with organic’, according to 7 CFR 205.605(b)-U.S. National Organic Program.
Mono-, di- and tricalcium phosphate have specific approval as components of coatings used on food contact surfaces of packages in 21 CFR 175.300.
Calcium phosphate and calcium hydrogen phosphate are classified as stabilizers when migrating from food-packaging surfaces in 21 CFR 181.29.
Calcium Phosphate (mono-, di-, and tribasic: MCP, DCP, and TCP) is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in animal foods under 21 CFR 582.1217 and 582.5217 as a general purpose food additive, nutrient, and dietary supplement when used in accordance with good manufacturing or feeding practices.
