Additives or Preservatives

polyphosphates (sodium phosphate, etc)

Carrageenan

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 12%
  • Health Risk: High
  • Environment Risk: Low
  • Function: Additive that works as a thickener, stabilizer of ingredients, and emulsifier of ingredients (this stops ingredients from spreading). It is particularly useful in processed foods that are heated to high temperatures during manufacturing.

guar gum

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 17%
  • Health Risk: Low
  • Environment Risk: Low-Moderate
  • Function: Additive that is used for thickening liquids - particularly those that have been processed at high temperatures.

sodium orthophosphate

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 0.1% Uncommon
  • Health Risk: Low
  • Environment Risk: Moderate
  • Function: Additive used to stabilize and texturize food - it can be especially useful in foods processed at high temperatures.

sodium triphosphate

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 0.3% Uncommon
  • Health Risk: Low
  • Environment Risk: Moderate
  • Function: Additive used to stabilize and texturize food - it can be especially useful in foods processed at high temperatures.

disodium diphosphate

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 0.2% Uncommon
  • Health Risk: Low
  • Environment Risk: Unknown
  • Function: Additive used to emulsify foods (stop ingredients from spreading).

monoglycerides

  • In Percent of Plant Milks: 6% Uncommon
  • Health Risk: Low - Moderate
  • Environment Risk: Unknown
  • Function: Generally recognized as safe in recommended quantities, but it is a trans fat, which can be unhealthy in large quantities.
