What it is

Calcium stearate is a calcium salt of stearic acid, a fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats. Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is a compound of silicon and oxygen. It is commonly found in nature as quartz and sand.

Why it's used

These ingredients are often used together as anti-caking agents. They help prevent powdered foods from clumping by absorbing moisture and coating particles. They are found in seasoning mixes, powdered drink mixes, and baking mixes.

Health notes

In the U.S., both calcium stearate and silicon dioxide are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are not metabolized by the body and are typically excreted. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these substances, and they are permitted for use in foods globally.

Allergen info

Neither calcium stearate nor silicon dioxide are derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
