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 manufactured synthetically to ensure purity and consistency.

Why it's used

Silicon dioxide is used as an anticaking agent, meaning it prevents powdered foods from clumping together. It works by absorbing moisture and coating particles. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, salts, and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

Silicon dioxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anticaking agent. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated it. At the low levels used in food, it is not expected to pose health risks. There is no widespread controversy regarding its safety in typical food applications.

Allergen info

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