What it is

Chili crescents are a seasoning blend that typically includes chili pepper, salt, and other spices. The exact ingredients can vary by manufacturer, but they are designed to add a spicy, savory flavor to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chili crescents to add a distinct chili flavor and a bit of heat to snack foods. They are commonly found in popcorn, seasoned nuts, trail mixes, and other savory snacks.

Health notes

Chili crescents are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a seasoning. The ingredients are typically spices and salt, which are consumed in moderation in this form. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices and salt, generally finding them safe for consumption. High sodium intake from all sources can be a concern for some individuals.

Allergen info

Chili crescents are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless a specific spice blend contains a gluten-containing ingredient.
