According to the official Lucky Charms website, trisodium phosphate is listed as an ingredient in the cereal. This common food additive is often misunderstood due to its use in industrial cleaners, but in food, it serves a very different purpose.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global regulatory agencies, a highly purified and regulated version of trisodium phosphate, or TSP, is indeed food-safe when used as an additive. The confusion surrounding the safety of TSP stems from the stark difference between this food-grade form and the industrial-strength cleaner that bears the same name.
