What it is

Calcium silicate is a synthetic compound made from calcium oxide and silicon dioxide. It is a white, powdery substance that is insoluble in water. It is produced by reacting calcium salts with sodium silicate.

Why it's used

Calcium silicate is used as an anti-caking agent in powdered foods, such as salt, spices, and baking mixes. It helps prevent these products from clumping together, ensuring they remain free-flowing. It is also used as a source of calcium and silicon in some food products.

Health notes

In the US, calcium silicate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as an anti-caking agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated calcium silicate and have not set a numerical limit for its acceptable daily intake. At typical levels used in food, it is not expected to cause adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety in food.

Allergen info

Calcium silicate is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame). It does not contain gluten.
