What it is

Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound made of silicon and oxygen. It is commonly found in sand and quartz. It is manufactured for food use by processes that create a very pure, fine powder.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent. This means it helps prevent powdered foods from clumping together, keeping them free-flowing. It is often found in powdered drink mixes, spices, and salt.

Health notes

In the U.S., silicon dioxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated it. At the very low levels used in food, it is not expected to cause health problems. There is no widespread controversy regarding its safety in food.

Allergen info

Silicon dioxide is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
