What it is

Chipotle powder is made from dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. The peppers are smoked over wood, which gives them a distinctive smoky flavor and aroma before being ground into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chipotle powder to add a smoky, spicy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in barbecue sauces, marinades, spice rubs, salsas, dips, and seasoning blends.

Health notes

Chipotle powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is derived from peppers, which contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Capsaicin has been studied for various potential health effects, though research is ongoing and evidence is mixed. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific ADI was set for chipotle powder itself.

Allergen info

Chipotle powder is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
