As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.

Does chlorine dioxide kill good bacteria?
Yes—chlorine dioxide is a broad‑spectrum oxidizing disinfectant that kills bacteria indiscriminately, including beneficial ones, on surfaces and in water. In regulated uses (e.g., drinking water or produce washes), residual levels are controlled to limit downstream effects.
How do you make chlorine dioxide?
Industrially it’s generated on‑site by reacting sodium chlorite or sodium chlorate under acidic or chlorinating conditions, because the gas is unstable and hazardous to store. It is not made or handled by consumers.
Chlorine dioxide what is it?
Chlorine dioxide (E926) is a yellow‑green gas (ClO2) and strong oxidizing agent used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent in water and food processing.
What is chlorine dioxide used for?
It’s used to disinfect drinking water, wash produce and poultry, and sanitize food‑processing equipment; outside foods, it’s also used for paper pulp bleaching and biofilm control.
Does chlorine dioxide kill mold?
Yes—chlorine dioxide is effective against molds and fungi (including spores) on surfaces at appropriate concentrations, so it’s used for facility and equipment sanitation.
