How do I know what I am getting? I need calcium propionate but this says or sodium?

I had the same issue. My research said Calcium propionate is better for bread and sodium for cakes. The research said that sodium propionate interferes with raising. I needed it for bread. I assume I got sodium. My bread does not rise as well as before but 1 teaspoon in my bread does stop the mold.

Will this keep bread soft as well? Or just keep mold away?

It made no difference in my GF bread except cut down on the mold. Randy

what is the legal limit I can use of this in food?

Legally there is no limit but good practice within the baking industry would suggest .5% or less by weight. For example no more than 5 gm per kilogram of flour.

How much do i put in for two loaves bread?

I read that 0.1% of the weight of the flour should be used. I weighed one cup of flour to be about 125 grams. So I decided on 125 milligrams. If you use 3 cups of flour for a loaf, 0.375 grams of calcium propionate would suffice. One eighth of a teaspoon of it weighed about 0.37 grams. So for two loaves you could use 1/4 teaspoon. I decided to use less though. So I use 1/8 teaspoon for one or two loaves. It seems to work for me.
