What it is

Rice hull powder is made from the outer layer of the rice grain, which is typically removed during the milling process. This fibrous material is then processed into a fine powder. It is a byproduct of rice production.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rice hull powder as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping together. It helps maintain a free-flowing texture in dry mixes like spice blends, baking mixes, and powdered beverages. It can also serve as a source of dietary fiber.

Health notes

In the United States, rice hull powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it, but no specific numeric limits were set. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns.

Allergen info

Rice hull powder is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
