Calcium ferrocyanide is used as anti-caking agent. Known as E-538 food additive. Calcium ferrocyanide, because of the strong chemical bond between iron and the cyanide groups, theses salts have a low toxicity. Sodium ferrocyanide (E 535), potassium ferrocyanide (E 536) and calcium
ferrocyanide (E 538) are permitted in salt and its substitutes at the level of 20
mg/kg (calculated as anhydrous potassium ferrocyanide) individually or in
combination.
