What it is
Cultured celery extract is made by fermenting celery with a starter culture. This process concentrates the natural preservative compounds found in celery.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured celery extract as a natural preservative to extend the shelf life of processed meats. It helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain product quality. It is commonly found in bacon, sausages, and other cured meat products.
Health notes
In the U.S., cultured celery extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of naturally occurring nitrates and nitrites, which are used in meat curing. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated celery and its extracts, recognizing their use as food ingredients. Evidence suggests that compounds in celery extract function similarly to synthetic preservatives.
Allergen info
Cultured celery extract is derived from celery. Celery is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor is it a common source of gluten.
