Cinnamon Chips

Cinnamon chips are small pieces of cinnamon-flavored candy, often made from sugar, vegetable oil, and cinnamon. They are typically produced by mixing ingredients and then forming them into small chip shapes.

Manufacturers add cinnamon chips to provide a sweet, spicy flavor and aroma to baked goods. They are commonly found in pastries like croissants, sweet rolls, muffins, and cookies, as well as in breads and nutrition bars.

Cinnamon chips are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. While cinnamon itself has been studied for potential health benefits, the high sugar content in cinnamon chips means they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. JECFA has evaluated cinnamon and established specifications for its use as a flavoring agent.
