What it is
Sodium silicoaluminate is a synthetic compound made from sodium, silicon, and aluminum. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sodium silicoaluminate to foods as an anti-caking agent. This means it helps prevent powders from clumping together, ensuring a free-flowing product. It is often found in powdered mixes, spices, and some baked goods.
Health notes
In the U.S., sodium silicoaluminate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as an anti-caking agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated it, and it is permitted for use in food. At the low levels typically found in food, it is not expected to cause adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
