Penicillin G procaine

Food additives Europe numbers: E707
Similar to penicillin G potassium, Penicillin G procaine is an antibiotic medication and not a food additive. It also doesn't have excipients specifically meant for food applications. Penicillin G procaine fights bacteria by hindering their growth.

Food additives (excipients) are inactive ingredients added to medications for various purposes, including:

• Manufacturing: They can help with processes like mixing ingredients, forming tablets, or ensuring stability during storage.
• Delivery: Excipients might aid in controlled release of the medication or make it easier to swallow.

Here's why Penicillin G procaine wouldn't be used in food:

• Antibiotic properties: Its purpose is to fight bacteria, which would be counterproductive in food where we aim to prevent bacterial growth.
• Delivery method: Penicillin G procaine is typically administered through injection, not suitable for food applications.
