What it is

Dehydrated potato with preservative is dried potato that has had a preservative added to extend its shelf life. Potatoes are a root vegetable, and the dehydration process removes moisture to prevent spoilage.

Why it's used

Preservatives help prevent food from spoiling due to mold, bacteria, or yeast. Dehydrated potatoes are used in dry mixes for side dishes, like au gratin potatoes or mashed potatoes, where rehydration is part of the preparation.

Health notes

The FDA considers dehydrated potatoes to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. The specific preservative used will have its own regulatory status and safety evaluation. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common food preservatives, setting guidelines for their safe use. Evidence regarding the health effects of specific preservatives at typical intake levels is generally reassuring, though some preservatives have faced public debate.

Allergen info

Potatoes are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
