So, what is carrageenan stabilizer?

Carrageenan stabilizer is a natural food ingredient derived from red seaweed. It's commonly used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food products, including dairy items like ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate milk. Carrageenan stabilizer helps to improve the texture and consistency of these foods by creating a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It's also an excellent binding agent that prevents ingredients from separating and settling. Despite some controversy surrounding its safety, carrageenan stabilizer is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies and widely accepted as a valuable ingredient in the food industry.
