Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is one of the safest food preservatives. It is a salt of sorbic acid, which is found naturally in mountain ash berries. Your body breaks it down just like a fatty acid.

It is added before bottling to prevent 're-fermentation'. It stops any remaining yeast from multiplying and blowing the cork off the bottle.

No. It works best in acidic products (pH 3.0 - 6.5). If the product is alkaline (high pH), it loses its ability to stop mold.

Granular is preferred by factories because it flows better and creates no dust, which is healthier for workers' lungs.
