What it is

Antioxidant Rosemary Extract is a natural preservative made from the leaves of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis). The extract is produced by processing rosemary leaves, often using solvents to isolate the antioxidant compounds, primarily carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to prevent fats and oils in foods from going rancid, which helps extend shelf life and maintain flavor. It is commonly found in processed meats, baked goods, snacks like chips and crackers, and salad dressings.

Health notes

In the US, rosemary extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food preservative. It is considered safe when consumed at typical levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rosemary extract and its components, generally finding them safe for use.

Allergen info

Rosemary extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
