What it is

Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound made of silicon and oxygen. It is found in sand and quartz. For food use, it is manufactured synthetically, often by reacting sodium silicate with a mineral acid.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent, meaning it helps prevent powders from clumping together. This keeps products like spices, powdered mixes, and grated cheeses free-flowing. It is also used as a processing aid in some food manufacturing.

Health notes

Silicon dioxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Silicon dioxide is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
