Is Carrageenan safe?
What it is
A thickener made from red seaweed. It keeps plant milks, ice cream, deli meat and yogurt smooth and stops them from separating.
What families watch for
Some people with sensitive tummies or IBD say it bothers their digestion, so they choose carrageenan-free versions.
