Calcium Stearate and the Shellfish Free Diet

It is commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a flow agent, anti-caking agent, and lubricant to ensure smooth processing and prevent clumping in powdered products. In food, it is often found in seasonings, spices, and confectionery items. In pharmaceuticals, it's used in tablet production to aid in the manufacturing process.
