What it is
Buffalo wing seasoning is a dry spice blend designed to mimic the flavor of buffalo wings. It typically includes ingredients like salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and sometimes vinegar powder or other spices.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add buffalo wing seasoning to provide a savory, spicy, and tangy flavor profile to foods. It is commonly used in snacks like popcorn, nuts, and chips, as well as in processed meats such as pepperoni and sausages.
Health notes
Buffalo wing seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The individual spices and salt are common food ingredients. While salt intake is a public health concern, the amounts in typical servings of seasoned foods are usually moderate. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual components of spice blends.
Allergen info
Buffalo wing seasoning is not derived from any of the 9 major FDA allergens. It does not contain gluten unless a specific spice blend includes gluten-containing ingredients, which is uncommon.
