The chemical sodium benzoate can be found in a variety of foods and drinks as a preservative. Let’s first get the facts straight about Sodium benzoate. Benzoic acids are found naturally in many fruits and condiments. Sodium benzoate, however, is created when benzoic acids combine with sodium hydroxide.
The natural sodium benzoate in small amounts is safe. However, the problem arises when lab-synthesized versions are added liberally to extend the shelf-life of foods and drinks. The main reasons are:
Biogetica has reprimanded certain brands and manufacturers for using sodium benzoate over the past two years. The manufacturers and brands at that time thought we were going overboard and claimed it was legal worldwide and that the data against Sodium Benzoate was questionable. Biogetica, however, didn’t think questionable was good enough. We moved to a patented process of encapsulation that is preservative-free but still has a 2-year shelf life.
The FSSAI has banned Sodium Benzoate in India, but not just Maggi. It will take time before the ban is implemented. Many food products contain sodium benzoate. The gripe water that you buy for your baby could still contain Sodium Benzoate, along with 3 other “questionable” preservatives “… If you are looking for information on pure alternatives… Consult our expert panel of doctors available 24/7 click here.
