Sodium aluminium silicate

Sodium aluminium silicate is notable for nickel, histamine and salicylate. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine and oxalates.

Yes — Sodium aluminium silicate is high in nickel. Sodium aluminium silicate is a synthetic anti-caking agent, but it is made from mined raw materials and inherits their trace nickel. It coats salt, powdered milk and grated cheese. One thing to weigh, from the regulation that governs it: nickel is a stated purity criterion for E 555 potassium aluminium silicate and for NO other silicate — not for this one. The metals routinely capped here are arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium. Nickel travels with aluminium and clay out of the ore, and the law corroborates nothing about it for this particular additive.

Sodium aluminium silicate contains only low levels of histamine. Sodium aluminium silicate is a synthetic anti-caking agent for salt and powdered mixes.

Sodium aluminium silicate contains only low levels of salicylate. Sodium aluminium silicate: anti-caking mineral, same family and same standing: no salicylate, no cross-reaction, grouped with additives. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
