What it is

Fermented rice seasoning is a liquid condiment made from rice, water, and a starter culture. The rice is cooked, mixed with the starter, and allowed to ferment for a period, developing a complex flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fermented rice seasoning to add a savory, slightly sweet, and umami flavor to foods. It is commonly found in Asian-inspired dishes, marinades, sauces, and dressings.

Health notes

Fermented rice seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fermented products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming fermented rice seasoning in typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Fermented rice seasoning is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless wheat or barley is used in the fermentation process, which is uncommon for rice-based seasonings.
