Permitted as an emulsifier, stabiliser, and moisture binder in Australia and New Zealand under the Food Standards Code (Schedule 15). Polyphosphates are widely used in processed meat, seafood, and cheese; as with all phosphates, use is capped in many food categories because total dietary phosphate intake has been a focus of nutrition review.
