Clouding agents or Cloudy Agent/Cloudifier are a type of food additive used to make beverages such as fruit juices to look more cloudy, and thus more natural-looking and visually appealing, typically by creating an emulsion of oil droplets.

Common clouding agents include palm oil and extracts of citrus fruits.

The illegal use of the plasticizer DEHP in clouding agents has been reported in Taiwan.
