What it is

Vinegar powder is a dry form of vinegar, made by dehydrating liquid vinegar. It is typically produced by spray-drying vinegar with a carrier, such as maltodextrin or corn syrup solids, to create a free-flowing powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vinegar powder to provide a tangy, sour flavor without adding liquid. It is often used in dry mixes, seasonings, snacks like chips and crackers, and in baked goods where a controlled amount of acidity is desired.

Health notes

Vinegar powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food ingredient, and when consumed as part of a balanced diet, it is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vinegar and its components.

Allergen info

Vinegar powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
