Product overview
What is food grade Sodium Diacetate?
Food grade sodium diacetate is a molecular compound of sodium acetate and acetic acid, identified as INS 262(ii). In solution it provides acetate buffering and acetic-acid functionality, making grade composition and pH important procurement criteria.
Commercial suitability depends on the exact grade, source, test method, intended function and destination-market rules. The current signed specification and batch COA govern each transaction.

Procurement checklist
How to source food grade Sodium Diacetate in bulk
Compare the offered grade, test methods and application requirements before requesting a sample or placing an order.
Sodium diacetate preservative for meat
Validate microbial hurdle design, flavor impact, process lethality, packaging and local maximum-use rules.
Sodium diacetate for seasoning and snacks
Evaluate dry vinegar flavor, acidity balance, hygroscopicity and blending uniformity.
Quantity, packing and loading
Share quantity, pallet preference, destination port and whether 20 or 22 MT reference loading is required.
Application screening
Common food grade Sodium Diacetate applications
Application selection depends on destination-market permission and finished-food trials.
Processed meat
Supports acidity and preservation hurdles while contributing a vinegar note; validate in the full process.
Sauces and dressings
Provides dry acetic-acid functionality and buffering in suitable sauce systems.
Snacks and seasonings
Used in dry vinegar-style flavor systems and powdered seasoning blends.
Bakery products
Can support mold-control programs where legally permitted and sensorially acceptable.
Canned and prepared foods
Evaluate pH contribution and compatibility with heat process and packaging.
Fruit and vegetable products
May contribute acidity regulation and preservation in selected formulations.
Commercial specifications
Food grade Sodium Diacetate reference specification
These commercial reference specifications are separate from batch COA results and regulatory requirements. Agree the grade, analytical basis and test methods for your order.

Technical selection
Questions to resolve before approving Sodium Diacetate
Composition balance
Free acetic acid and sodium acetate ratios influence acidity, flavor and buffering.
Finished-food pH
Preservative performance depends on the whole hurdle system, not sodium diacetate alone.
Flavor profile
Pilot test vinegar intensity and any interaction with smoke, spice or savory notes.
Handling
Protect hygroscopic powder from moisture and confirm bag liner, pallet and warehouse conditions.
Qualification support
Product documents and quality requirements
Product documents
Request the current signed specification or TDS, SDS, test methods and representative or batch COA.
Food-grade selection requirements
Verify applicable Kosher, Halal, ISO and food-safety documents for the exact grade, source and manufacturing site.
Independent reference
Review the Codex GSFA sodium diacetate record for identity context, then apply destination-market rules separately.
Storage and handling
Protect Sodium Diacetate in storage
- EnvironmentStore sealed in a cool, dry and ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat; use the stated below-30°C storage condition where specified.
- MoistureProtect bags or drums from rain, humidity, caking and contamination.
- ControlsKeep original packaging intact and follow the current SDS and site hygiene procedures.
Buyer questions
Food grade Sodium Diacetate FAQ
What is food grade Sodium Diacetate used for?
Sodium Diacetate is used in selected food formulations for preservative, acidity regulator and flavoring ingredient functions. Suitability, legal use and dosage must be confirmed for the exact finished food and destination market.
What are the CAS and food additive numbers for Sodium Diacetate?
