Erythorbic acid, formerly known as isoascorbic acid and D-araboascorbic acid, is a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).[1] It is a vegetable-derived food additive produced from sucrose. It is denoted by E number E315, and is widely used as an antioxidant in processed foods. Clinical trials have been conducted to investigate aspects of the nutritional value of erythorbic acid. One such trial investigated the effects of erythorbic acid on vitamin C metabolism in young women; no effect on vitamin C uptake or clearance from the body was found.[2] A later study found that erythorbic acid is a potent enhancer of nonheme-iron absorption.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythorbic_acid

from what I've researched, I've found that it is healthy. I don't know what the FDA says about it though. Where I found the answer at was on wiki answers, but the question was "what is erythrobic acid".
