What it is
Chipotle seasoning is a spice blend that features chipotle peppers as its primary ingredient. Chipotle peppers are mature jalapeños that have been smoked and dried. The seasoning typically includes other spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a smoky, slightly spicy, and savory flavor profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use chipotle seasoning to add a distinct smoky and spicy flavor to a wide range of foods. It is commonly found in snacks like popcorn and nuts, as well as in prepared meals such as frozen dinners, wraps, and burritos. It can also be used in rubs for meats or as a seasoning for vegetables.
Health notes
Chipotle seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The individual spices within the blend are common food ingredients. While there are no specific health concerns associated with typical consumption of chipotle seasoning, some people may be sensitive to spicy foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual spices commonly found in seasoning blends.
Allergen info
Chipotle seasoning itself is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. However, always check the ingredient list of specific products, as other allergens may be added during processing or manufacturing.
