What it is

Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound made of silicon and oxygen. It is found in sand and quartz. In food, it is manufactured and purified to be a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add silicon dioxide to powdered foods to absorb moisture and prevent clumping. This helps keep products like spices, salt, and snack mixes free-flowing and easy to use.

Health notes

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 it. At typical levels used in food, it is not expected to cause health problems.

Allergen info

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