Sodium Benzoate primarily serves as a preservative in products such as cough syrups, soft drinks, sauces, pickles, and jellies. It effectively prevents microbial growth, extending the shelf life of these items.
Regulatory authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), recognize Sodium Benzoate as safe for use. It is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) when used within recommended limits, particularly as a food preservative and flavoring agent. The FDA approved its use in food products as early as the 1960s, acknowledging its effectiveness in preventing spoilage.
Storage Condition: Pack Sodium Benzoate in a double polybag, keep it in a tightly closed HDPE container, and store it at a temperature between 20°C and 25°C.
