What it is
Stabilisers are substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of a foodstuff; stabilisers include substances which enable the maintenance of a homogenous dispersion of two or more immiscible substances in a foodstuff, substances which stabilise, retain or intensify an existing colour of a foodstuff and substances which increase the binding capacity of the food, including the formation of cross-links between proteins enabling the binding of food pieces into re-constituted food.
A product that contains it can still be ultra-processed for other reasons: 6 of the 6 products here that contain dimagnesium phosphate (E343ii) (100%) are in group 4 because of other ingredients or additives.
