So, what is propionate de sodium?

Propionate de sodium is a food preservative commonly used to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria in baked goods and dairy products. It is a white crystalline powder that has a slightly salty taste and is soluble in water. Propionate de sodium is a popular alternative to other preservatives because it is naturally occurring in many foods, such as cheese and bread. It has been deemed safe for human consumption by regulatory agencies and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the United States. Although it has been linked to allergic reactions in some individuals, it remains a popular choice for many food manufacturers due to its effectiveness in extending the shelf life of products.
