Oh, my mistake... I thought you were asking about Yellowcake... I guess that tip I called in to the NSA about you was a bit of an error...

I asked a friend on FB and he told me what it was in Danish and where I could buy it.

It's called edikke pulver(Danish) in English vinegar powder.

When I whip egg whites, I usually add a few drops of vinegar, it provides a better airiness and firmness.

Thank you for your help.
