I am ready to pour in the apple juice but will the calcium lactate in the apple juice harm my yeast? It is pasturized apple juice
Where did you get that idea? calcium lactate is not a vitamin, it is there to balance the acidity of the apple juice and to buffer the apple juice.Nope, it's just a vitamin, it will work just fine. Preservatives you need to watch out for are ones like sodium metabisulfite or potassium metabisulfite.

Lactate ions are the conjugate base of lactic acid and are as such slightly alkaline. The addition of calcium lactate is usually only done when the acidity of the apple juice is to high. Sticking to one pH will propbably make for a more consistent flavour.
