EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, calcium disodium) and its acetate salts are used as chelating agents to decrease metals in food mixtures.
More commonly, EDTA is used as a preservative in salad dressings, mayonnaise, sandwich spreads, condiments, margarines, juices, and drinks.
While EDTA is on the GRAS list, it is under further study.
Meal Genius does not endorse foods containing EDTA.
