National Standards Lead: The Safety and Compliance Bottom Line of Food Grade Silica


GB 25576-2020 sets the safety threshold for food grade silica, clearly defining core access indicators for Class II products, including drying loss ≤7.0% and heavy metal (lead) content ≤5mg/kg. Through technological upgrading, leading enterprises such as Shandong Zhonglian have controlled arsenic content below 1ppm, which far exceeds the national standard limit and meets the requirements of EU EFSA E551 certification. Compliant products can be used as anti-caking agents and filter aids, fully complying with the application scope and dosage limits of GB 2760, and achieving dual compliance in both safety and functionality.
