What is calcium lactate? Is it vegan?

It should be a vegan ingredient. It is a calcium salt of lactic acid. According to our research, domestically made lactic acid is produced without

whey as the fermentation medium. It is typically vegan. Archer Daniels Midland Co. reports that they use only hydrolyzed cornstarch as the

fermentation medium. Purac America Inc., says that they use only beet sugar. However, with imported products, such as some olives,

the source of the lactic acid is unknown.
