                                According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), magnesium stearate is considered safe for consumption. Despite viral misinformation, there is no evidence to suggest that magnesium stearate is banned or poses a significant health risk in the small amounts used in supplements and food products.
