E500 is a food additive known as sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. It is widely used in the food industry as an acidity regulator and leavening agent.
E500 can be used in bakery products as one of the components of a dough conditioner.
Additive E500 may also be used in the production of carbonated beverages.
Although E500 is considered a relatively safe food additive, excessive consumption of soda can have a negative impact on the stomach and intestines due to its alkaline nature.
