Garden Tomato & Basil Seasoning

This seasoning is a blend of dried tomatoes and basil, often combined with other herbs, spices, and salt. Tomatoes provide a savory, slightly sweet flavor, while basil adds a fresh, aromatic, and slightly peppery note. The ingredients are typically dried and ground to create a fine powder for easy incorporation into food products.

Manufacturers use this blend to add a fresh, herbaceous, and savory tomato flavor to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snacks like potato chips, pretzels, and seasoned crackers. It can also be used in dry soup mixes, marinades, and spice rubs.

Garden tomato and basil seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is composed of common food ingredients with no specific regulatory limits. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices and herbs, but this specific blend does not have a unique evaluation. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
