E528, or silicon dioxide, is an additive widely used in the food industry as an anti-caking agent and stabilizer.
Silicon dioxide itself does not contain carbohydrates and does not affect blood sugar levels, making it relatively safe for consumption on a keto diet. However, it is worth noting that when used in combination with other additives, the effect on ketosis may be ambiguous.
Silicon dioxide can be found in various products such as dry seasonings, baking mixes, confectionery products, pasta, and even some types of cheese.
Although silicon dioxide is generally considered relatively safe for health, in some cases, excessive consumption of the additive may cause gastrointestinal irritation in some individuals.
