Note about this food
Polydimethylsiloxane is a silicone, added to frying oils as an anti-foaming agent at a few milligrams per kilogram. Its backbone is silicon and oxygen rather than the carbon chains gut bacteria work on, so there is nothing here to ferment and nothing to decarboxylate into an amine. It is not absorbed either: what goes in comes out.
