Health notes
Celery powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The nitrates in celery powder can be converted to nitrites in the body, which have been studied for their potential health effects. Some research suggests a link between high intake of nitrites from processed meats and certain health concerns, while other studies have not found such a link. JECFA has evaluated celery and its derivatives, but no specific ADI was set.
