Is graphene oxide in food?

There is no scientific evidence or reliable information that confirms graphene oxide in food.

Graphene oxide is being studied for use in electronics, energy storage, water purification, and medical imaging. Most applications of graphene oxide are still in the research phase or are used in very specific industries, not in the food industry.

There have been rumors and misinformation online claiming that graphene oxide is used in vaccines or food products. However, these claims are unfounded and not supported by scientific data or approved sources.

Regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not approved the use of graphene oxide in food products. These agencies are responsible for ensuring the safety of food products and would thoroughly investigate any application of such a substance before approving it for use.

At this time, there is no evidence that graphene oxide is used in food products. The substance is primarily being studied for technological and medical applications, not for consumption. Rumors about the presence of graphene oxide in food are unfounded and not supported by scientific or regulatory bodies.
