Carrageenan is a soluble fiber that is extracted from red seaweed and used as a stabilizer, thickener and gelling agent to enhance the texture and palatability of many foods and beverages.
The FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) released its full technical report, including a monograph regarding the safety of carrageenan in infant formula, and concluded that the use of carrageenan in infant formula was 'not of concern'.
