Safe and Reliable: The Use of Food-Grade Silica in Tomato Powder - Ensuring Quality and Safety in Food Production

You've asked whether the use of food-grade silica in tomato powder is safe, and the answer is unequivocally yes.

1. Strict production standards

Food-grade silica undergoes rigorous quality control and purity testing during its production process. Its production techniques and quality standards are strictly regulated by food regulatory agencies in various countries, such as China, the United States, and the European Union, which have clear regulations and standards to govern its production and use, ensuring its safety.

2. High chemical stability

Silica is a chemically stable substance. Under normal food processing and storage conditions, it does not undergo chemical reactions with other components in tomato powder, does not produce toxic or harmful substances, and poses no harm to human health.

3. Low toxicity and no biological activity

Numerous toxicological studies have shown that food-grade silica, when used in moderation, poses little to no toxicity to the human body. It is not absorbed by the body, but is excreted along with food residues, without accumulating in the body or exerting adverse effects on physiological functions.

4. Widely recognized and applied internationally

Food-grade silica is widely used internationally in various foods, including tomato powder and other powdered foods, seasonings, health supplements, etc. Its safety has been proven through long-term practical application experience.

As long as food-grade silica is used reasonably in accordance with relevant standards and regulations, its application in tomato powder is safe and reliable.
