What it is
Cole slaw is a salad consisting primarily of finely shredded raw cabbage, often mixed with shredded carrots and sometimes other ingredients like onions. It is typically dressed with a vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing.
Why it's used
Cole slaw is commonly served as a side dish with barbecue, fried chicken, and sandwiches. Manufacturers use it to add a fresh, crunchy texture and a tangy flavor to prepared foods like wraps, sandwiches, and deli salads.
Health notes
Cole slaw is a food item, not an additive, and therefore does not have a regulatory status as a GRAS substance or approved additive. Its health implications depend on the ingredients used in its preparation, particularly the dressing. Mayonnaise-based dressings can be high in fat and calories, while vinaigrettes may be lower. The vegetables themselves provide fiber and vitamins. No major health organizations have evaluated cole slaw as a whole.
Allergen info
Cole slaw is not a major allergen unless specific ingredients are added. However, mayonnaise-based dressings often contain eggs, which is a major allergen. Check product labels for specific ingredients.
