Modified citric acid is created through microbial processes using a mutant strain of the black mold, Aspergillus niger. Why Isn't Citric Acid Labeled as MCA? Creating citric acid from black mold has been the industry standard since 1919 before the FDA evaluated food additives.

Manufactured citric acid (MCA) is a ubiquitous substance and one of the most common food additives in the world. Approximately 99% of the world production of MCA is through microbial processes using predominantly a mutant strain of the black mold Aspergillus niger [1].

2021年9月28日 · A post on Facebook claims that citric acid is a poison derived from genetically modified black mould, which is being hidden in food and used in “spiritual warfare” by “evil forces in a direct attempt to lower the population’s vitality and natural vibrational frequency”.

2022年11月10日 · Health Concerns and Sensitivities. The focus shifts to the health effects of citric acid, specifically the variety derived from black mold, not citrus fruits, often called manufactured citric acid.

2017年11月30日 · Food manufacturers leave out that citric acid is derived from genetically modified black mold grown on GMO corn syrup. The USDA and the FDA still allow it to be used despite it being a known hidden GMO.

2023年11月7日 · The odorless and colorless compound was produced from lemon juice until the early 1900s when researchers discovered that it could also be made from the black mold Aspergillus niger, which...

Pfizer began producing manufactured citric acid in 1919 through a microbial process involving a mutant strain of Aspergillus niger, also known as black mold. The present day process of creating manufactured citric acid involves feeding sugars derived from GMO corn to black mold, which then ferments to form manufactured citric acid.

2023年1月6日 · If you have mold toxicity or a compromised immune system, natural health advocates advise steering clear of artificial citric acid. Those who have reactions to MSG (monosodium glutamate) are advised to do the same as …

2024年12月11日 · A social media post claims that citric acid, produced through genetic modification of black mold is toxic. We found the claim to be false.

Fragments of the toxic black mold can get into the citric acid. If we ingest fragments of this black mold, we’d expect some people to have significant immune (i.e., inflammatory) reactions.
