Is E578 Kosher?

Kosher, except for Pesach


Description: Calcium gluconate (firming agent)

Function: firming agent

Rationale: Gluconic acid is industrially produced by fermenting corn-derived glucose, so despite being highly processed, conservative kosher-for-Passover guides treat it as a kitniyot-derived ingredient requiring special certification.

If you don't see a status above, it does not mean the additive is not kosher automatically - it might just not be documented in our database yet.
