What it is

Caramel dip is a sweet sauce made from heated sugar, often with butter and cream. The heating process, called caramelization, gives it a characteristic brown color and rich flavor. It can also include other ingredients like milk, corn syrup, and flavorings.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use caramel dip as a flavoring and sweetener in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in desserts like cakes, cupcakes, and ice cream, as well as in snack items like fruit trays and pretzels.

Health notes

Caramel coloring, a common ingredient in caramel dip, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caramel colorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, excessive intake of added sugars found in caramel dips can contribute to health concerns.

Allergen info

Caramel dip may contain milk and butter, which are major allergens. It is not derived from egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. Gluten is not typically present unless added.
