- MCPM is used as a leavening agent in bakery products.
- Can be used as a pH regulator and to provide calcium in yeast raised bakery products.
- Can be used as a calcium and/or phosphorus supplement in pharmaceuticals, multivitamins, and pet/animal food as well as in a wide variety of processed foods and beverages.
- 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 a multiple purpose food additive and nutrient when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
- 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 and as a nutrient and/or dietary supplement when used in accordance with good manufacturing or feeding practices.
- Calcium Phosphates (mono-, di-, and tribasic) are allowed as ingredients in or on processed products labelled as “organic” or “made with organic (specified ingredients or food groups(s))” in accordance with all restrictions under 7CFR205.605.
