Sodium benzoate is a preservative. The FDA allows 0.1% sodium benzoate in foods. A can of Soda is 12 fluid ounces (355 ml) or approx. 355 grams. 0.1% of that is 0.355 grams or 355 mg of Sodium Benzoate. In each packet of Agel products we use 3 mg of sodium benzoate… that’s right… 3 mg. That works out to less than 1/100th of the amount of sodium Benzoate allowable in a can of soda.
