What it is

This is a concentrated flavoring made from dehydrated onions and spices. The process involves extracting the natural flavors and aromas from these ingredients, often using solvents, and then removing the solvent to leave a concentrated extract.

Why it's used

It is used to add a savory, oniony, and spiced flavor to a wide variety of processed foods. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste of products like frozen meals, sauces, marinades, and seasoned rice mixes, providing a consistent flavor profile.

Health notes

Dehydrated onion and spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flavorings, and they are considered safe when consumed at typical levels found in food. There is no evidence to suggest adverse health effects from consuming these flavorings in normal dietary amounts.

Allergen info

Onions and spices are not among the FDA's nine major food allergens. Gluten is also not typically present unless cross-contamination occurs during processing.
