What it is

Silicon dioxide is a form of silica, which is a natural mineral. It is manufactured by reacting silicon tetrachloride with oxygen and water at high temperatures. It is a fine, white powder.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent. It prevents powdered foods from clumping together, helping them flow freely. It is often found in powdered mixes, spices, and grated cheeses.

Health notes

In the US, silicon dioxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as an anti-caking agent. It is not absorbed by the body and passes through undigested. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated silicon dioxide and found no safety concerns at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

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