                                While the average daily human intake of carrageenan is estimated at 18-40 mg/kg, some animal studies were conducted with massive doses, exceeding 1,000 mg/kg/d. The question of how much carrageenan is safe to eat has generated significant public debate, prompting major health organizations to clarify the distinction between food-grade and degraded forms.
