E343, or sodium phosphate, is a food additive widely used in the food industry as a stabilizer or acidity regulator.
It can improve the texture of food products and extend their shelf life. However, it is important to remember that phosphates in large amounts can be harmful to health.
While sodium phosphate is considered safe for consumption in reasonable amounts, excess intake of the additive in the diet can lead to metabolic disorders and negatively affect digestion.
Most products containing E343 belong to ready-to-eat foods and semi-finished products, such as sausages, canned goods, crackers, dry cereals, snacks, and some beverages.
