Nov 20, 2018

Spray powder is composed of food starches, but some spray powder can contain unsafe ingredients such as talc, clays, calcium carbonate, and silicone. If you are concerned about spray powder's health effects, use a food grade spray powder. Spray powder should not be allowed to accumulate in thick layers in the pressroom. Spray powder particles in the air at high concentrations can cause explosions and fires and are regulated by OSHA.
