The Food and Drug Administration and the Centre for Science in the Public Interest consider potassium sorbate to be generally recommended as safe. Potassium sorbate is often used in only very small levels in foods. Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative in a number of foods. It is used in cheese, baked goods, syrups, and jams.
