This study aimed to determine the sorbic acid and its salts presence in fermented milk marketed in Brazil, as well as to quantify it when the sample was positive. Twenty-six commercial samples were analyzed (n = 3), totaling 78 samples. The samples were divided into two groups: natural (5 samples) and with non-dairy ingredients (21 samples). A total of 61.53% were positive for the sorbic acid and its salts. In these, 3.85% were natural fermented milk, which is fraud, according to Codex Alimentarius and Brazilian legislation. In addition, all samples were outside the Brazilian legislation (0.3 g.kg-1) but not for Codex Alimentarius (1.0 g.kg-1). It can be concluded that the sorbic acid and its salts were detected in fermented milk both natural and with non-dairy ingredients.
