What it is

Magnesium carbonate is a white, powdery mineral salt. It is found naturally in rocks and is also produced synthetically by reacting magnesium salts with sodium carbonate. It is insoluble in water.

Why it's used

Magnesium carbonate is used as an anti-caking agent in powdered foods like drink mixes and spices. It helps prevent ingredients from clumping together, ensuring a smooth texture and easy pouring. It is often found in candies, cookies, and baked goods.

Health notes

Magnesium carbonate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. It is also approved as a food additive. JECFA has evaluated magnesium carbonate and established an acceptable daily intake. At typical intake levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Some studies suggest magnesium may play a role in bone health and muscle function, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

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