Uses
The species Lithothamnium calcareum is, besides Tricalcium phosphate, often used as food fortification in plant-based milk substitutes to achieve a similar calcium content as a cow milk which is around 120 mg/100 ml. However, in April 2021 the European Court of Justice forbade its use in organic food products such as drinks. ==Notes==
