Yes, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is safe to use in food if used in reasonable amounts. Baking soda is an ingredient that is commonly used in cooking and cake making because it has buffering and raising properties and can help food become more hollow and tender.

However, it is important to remember a few things:

1. Use in reasonable amounts.

Although baking soda is generally safe, excessive use can change the taste and texture of food. Always follow the recipe carefully and use as directed.

2. Increase sodium levels.

Baking soda contains sodium, so excessive use can increase your sodium intake, which can be a problem for people with certain conditions such as high blood pressure. If you have certain health conditions, consult a doctor or nutritionist about using baking soda in your diet.

3. Choose baking soda that is intended for food purposes.

Make sure you use baking soda that is specifically for food purposes, not that which is used for other purposes such as cleaning or flossing teeth.

As long as it is used wisely according to the instructions, baking soda is safe for use in food and can be a useful ingredient in your kitchen.
