What it is for. This category covers sodium salts of edible organic acids with at least four carbon atoms, used as a source of sodium and/or as a carrier of the corresponding organic acid in feed formulation. They are generally used to adjust dietary electrolyte balance or to bring a technological or acidifying function linked to the organic acid, in various species and production stages. Choice of a specific salt depends on the organic acid involved and the targeted effect.
Points to watch. Sodium contribution must be accounted for in the overall electrolyte and sodium balance of the diet. Composition can vary according to the specific organic acid used, so the declared sodium and organic acid content of each batch should be checked. No maximum inclusion level is set in the available sources.
