What it is

Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound made of silicon and oxygen. It is found in sand, quartz, and many plants. It is manufactured for food use by combining silica with oxygen.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent, meaning it helps prevent powdered foods from clumping together. This keeps ingredients free-flowing and easy to mix. It is commonly 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 and EFSA have also evaluated silicon dioxide. At the low levels used in food, it is not expected to cause health problems. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use.

Allergen info

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