i think they put calcium chloride in foods so that we can stay healthy! :)

calcium gives us protein (I've heard somewhere I'm just not sure how it does that)

Hi i see you are questioning Calcium Chloride.., yeah i see it as an added ingredient in Smart Water and they supposedly say its an electrolyte

which means it defends the immune system

but then why is it being used in icy roads to break up black ice?

that has me questioning whether or not it is safe, and seeing how everyone never really gives accurate info on Google or the internet... there is no way to really find out

the only way is to call the FDA and confirm that it is a food grade compound.

Answer 2

Calcium chloride is added to certain foods as a preservative to help extend shelf life by controlling microbial growth, preventing spoilage, and maintaining the texture of the product. It also helps to firm up certain foods like pickles and canned vegetables.
