What it is

Dehydrated cayenne pepper sauce is made from cayenne peppers that have been dried and then processed into a sauce or powder. Cayenne peppers are a type of chili pepper known for their heat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dehydrated cayenne pepper sauce to add a spicy flavor and heat to foods. It is commonly found in frozen appetizers, prepared meals, and meat products like patties and burgers.

Health notes

Dehydrated cayenne pepper sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, may have some health effects, but research is ongoing and evidence is mixed regarding benefits at typical dietary intake levels. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for this ingredient in food.
