Jill Groves Sanchez Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi! I am very new, day 1, and need to know if Tricalcium Phosphate is Whole30 approved. My favorite seasoning is Goya Adobo and these are the ingredients: Salt, Granulated Garlic, Tricalcium Phosphate (Prevents Caking), Oregano, Turmeric. After a google search it says it occurs in nature, but one can never be too sure. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The three no-goes are carrageenan, MSG, and sulfites. I think you are okay with your seasoning (but I'm not an expert!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtotten Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Tricalcium phosphate is in a lot (maybe a majority) of commercial spice blends. About half of the stuff I use regularly contains it, including Ragin' Cajun seasoning which I like to use when I make collard greens. So this is indeed an accepted ingredient? p.s. The Adobo is good stuff too! I like the orange variety best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think its used as an anti-caking agent, it should be good for you (calcium mineral) rather than bad but at trace amounts thats probably not an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bat Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I bought a bottle of Organic Chili Powder and the ingredients include "Tri-calcium Phosphate." Yes, I've googled. Yes, I've searched Whole30. Can a moderator tell me if this ingredient is compliant? Thank you. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFossil Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 From Wikipedia: Quote Tricalcium phosphate (sometimes abbreviated TCP) is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid It's fine. As it says on the label, it's an anti-caking agent. Take a look at the additives sheet and remember that you're looking for MSG, carageenen and sulphites as well as sneaky sugars, soy and grains.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted April 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2017 @Matt Bat - I've merged your thread with an older one because @ArtFossil gave you a good answer and this thread is what comes up when you google 'tricalcium phosphate'.
