-As a preservative
Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) can act as a food preservative.
Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) is most widely used in acidic foods such as salad dressings (for example acetic acid in vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles (acetic acid), condiments, and frozen yogurt toppings.

Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) is also used as a preservative in medicines and cosmetics.
Under these conditions Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) is converted into benzoic acid (E210), which is bacteriostatic and fungistatic.
Benzoic acid is generally not used directly due to its poor water solubility.

Concentration as a food preservative is limited by the FDA in the U.S. to 0.1% by weight.
Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) is also allowed as an animal food additive at up to 0.1%, per the Association of American Feed Control Officials.
Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) has been replaced by potassium sorbate in the majority of soft drinks in the United Kingdom.

In the 19th century, Sodium Benzoate (C6H5COONa) as a food ingredient was investigated by Harvey W. Wiley with his 'Poison Squad' as part of the US Department of Agriculture.
This led to the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act, a key event in the early history of food regulation in the United States.
