E211 or Sodium benzoate GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) and is not harmful when used at the required maximum ratio of 0.1%. This means that 1mg ((? should be ~1 gram- i.e 0.1 % by weight)) of Sodium benzoate can be used to preserve 1L of product.

A very high amount, in the order of 100 - 200g, might cross react with other substances. It is however highly unlikely that this amount will ever be reached when the product is used as it was intended (not eating the powder raw, but as a preservative in a liquid).
