Gellan gum E418 is a safe and versatile food additive. Gellan gum powder is widely used in a variety of processed food including confectionery, sauces, fortified plant milk, spreads and dairy products. Gellan gum is a common substitute for carrageenan, gelatin and pectin in dairy beverages, providing better gels and consistency at lower dosages. Gellan gum is particularly popular in vegan packaged foods because it is a plant-based alternative to gelatin.
