It's worth noting that dimethylpolysiloxane (silicone) has been used in food since the 70s. It was found to be not harmful to lab animals in the 70s by the World Health Organization. The FDA set the 10ppm limit for "ready to eat" food in 1995.
Dow chemical makes dimethylpolysiloxane. Few companies have deeper pockets than Dow, but clearly a more powerful, anti-silicone company must have bribed the FDA to get the 10ppm limit established.
Dimethylpolysiloxane is also found in Silly Putty and Chicken McNuggets, so you know it's good stuff!
Personally, I don't think it is anything to panic about, but I encourage you to ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward when using it isn't necessary at all.
Cheers!
