What it is

Anchovy powder is made from dried and ground anchovies, small, oily fish found in temperate and tropical oceans. The fish are typically cleaned, cooked, dried, and then finely ground into a powder. This process concentrates their savory flavor.

Why it's used

Anchovy powder is used to add a deep, savory, umami flavor to foods. It is often found in seasonings, spice blends, sauces, dressings, and snacks. Its intense flavor makes it a potent ingredient, used in small amounts to enhance the overall taste profile of dishes like pasta sauces, dips, and marinades.

Health notes

In the US, anchovy powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated anchovies and their derivatives, and has established acceptable daily intakes for certain related compounds. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Anchovy powder is derived from fish, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
