Dimethyl polysiloxane (E900a)
Dimethyl polysiloxane (E900a) is one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as ultra-processed (NOVA group 4).
What it is and why it counts
Emulsifiers are substances which make it possible to form or maintain a homogenous mixture of two or more immiscible phases such as oil and water in a foodstuff.
Cosmetic additives
NOVA calls these additives "cosmetic": they change how a product looks, feels or tastes rather than keeping it safe to eat. Their presence is one of the two defining signs of an ultra-processed food.
