| FCC dry food grade calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a white granule with 94 to 97 percent anhydrous CaCl2 by weight. TETRA's product is manufactured in the U.S.A. and is a high quality food grade calcium chloride that meets the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), 4th Edition, specifications for impurity limits. It also meets American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard B550 for water treatment.
FCC dry food grade calcium chloride is the product of choice for food processing and packaging applications, and other applications where FDA approval of a briners grade has not been given.
TETRA's food grade calcium chloride is used primarily in the food and beverage industry to increase the firmness of fruits and vegetables, preventing breakup during processing and cooking. In cheese manufacturing, it is added to pasteurized skimmed milk to help coagulate the curds, increase firmness, and replace calcium lost by heating. The bottling industry also uses it to remove sodium alkalinity from water used in soft drink and beer formulation. Water is then remineralized to desired levels assuring uniform taste regardless of processing location. |
