Role in food

Distilled cider vinegar is used as a preservative and flavoring agent in many foods. …

What it is

Distilled cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple cider. The cider is first fermented into alcohol and then further fermented into acetic acid, which gives vinegar its characteristic sour taste and pungent smell. It is then distilled to create a clear, milder vinegar.

Why it's used

Distilled cider vinegar is used as a preservative and flavoring agent in many foods. Its acidity helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria, extending shelf life. It is commonly found in pickles, relishes, sauces, and salad dressings, where it adds a tangy flavor.

Health notes

Distilled cider vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of acetic acid, which is not associated with significant health concerns at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vinegar, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for its consumption as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

Distilled cider vinegar is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
