Health notes
Dried vegetables are generally considered safe and nutritious. They retain many of the vitamins and minerals found in their fresh counterparts, though some water-soluble vitamins may be reduced by dehydration. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not typically set specific limits for dried vegetables as they are considered a food ingredient. While generally healthy, the sodium content in the accompanying seasoning packet can be high.
Allergen info
Dried vegetables themselves are not major allergens. However, always check the ingredient list for potential cross-contamination or added ingredients that may be allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless the product is processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains.
