Silicon Dioxide

Silicon dioxide, also called silica, is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used in food manufacturing to prevent clumping and improve ingredient flow. It is most often added to dry mixes like seasonings, powdered creamers, and spice blends. Approved by the FDA and considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS), silicon dioxide is odorless, tasteless, and stable. This makes it an effective anti-caking agent that supports clean-label formulation goals. Food and beverage manufacturers rely on it to help improve processing, reduce moisture issues, and maintain consistent product quality.
