E338, or orthophosphoric acid, is a food additive commonly used in the food industry as an acidity regulator, antioxidant, and preservative.
Orthophosphoric acid may affect blood sugar levels, which can make it difficult to achieve a state of ketosis.
Orthophosphoric acid is typically used in the production of carbonated beverages, dairy products, canned vegetables and fruits, as well as in the production of meat products.
Although E338 is considered a relatively safe additive when consumed in moderation, excessive intake of orthophosphoric acid can lead to negative health consequences, such as digestive disorders, metabolic disturbances, and high blood pressure.
