Garlic And Bell Pepper

Garlic and bell pepper is a seasoning blend made from dried, ground garlic and dried, ground bell peppers. The specific types of garlic and bell pepper used can vary. It is used to add a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile to foods.

Manufacturers add garlic and bell pepper seasoning to provide a distinct flavor and aroma to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, rubs, marinades, salad dressings, and processed meats.

Garlic and bell pepper are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. These ingredients are primarily used for their flavor and do not have specific regulatory limits set for them as food additives. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavor compounds, but this specific blend is not typically subject to the same evaluations as isolated additives. Evidence suggests that compounds in garlic and bell peppers may have antioxidant properties, but these effects are generally associated with consuming whole foods rather than concentrated seasonings.
