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 typically manufactured by reacting a silicon compound, like silicon tetrachloride, with oxygen.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent, meaning it helps prevent powdered foods from clumping together. It allows powders to flow freely, which is useful in products like spice mixes, salts, and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

In the US, 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 adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use in food.

Allergen info

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