E341 covers the calcium phosphates, calcium salts of phosphoric acid: calcium dihydrogen phosphate (341(i)), calcium hydrogen phosphate (341(ii)) and tricalcium phosphate (341(iii)). In food they adjust acidity, prevent caking and help dough rise.
EFSA (2019) found that intake in children can exceed the ADI. On the Yenzo Scale this finding does not raise the risk level by itself.

Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT lists these functions for the calcium phosphates: acidity regulator, anticaking agent, emulsifying salt, firming agent, flour treatment agent, humectant, raising agent, stabilizer and thickener; calcium dihydrogen phosphate is also a sequestrant and tricalcium phosphate also an emulsifier.
In 2019 EFSA set a group ADI of 40 mg/kg body weight per day, expressed as phosphorus, for the phosphate additives (E338–E341, E343, E450–E452). EFSA noted that in one estimated scenario intake by infants, toddlers and other children exceeded this ADI.
Yes. Calcium dihydrogen phosphate (INS 341(i)), dicalcium hydrogen phosphate (INS 341(ii)) and tricalcium phosphate (INS 341(iii)) are listed in Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT, the list of additives permitted in food.
In the EU, additives may not be used in foods for infants and young children unless Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 provides for it. Annex II lists E341 in category 13.1.3 (processed cereal-based foods and baby foods, only cereals and fruit-based desserts) and category 13.1.5.1 (dietary foods for infants for special medical purposes and special formulae for infants). The Regulation has no separate provision for pregnant women. If you have a particular health condition, ask a doctor.
