What it is

Ground yellow mustard is made from the seeds of the yellow mustard plant (Sinapis alba). The seeds are typically dried, ground into a fine powder, and sometimes sifted to remove hulls. This process creates a mild, slightly pungent spice.

Why it's used

Ground yellow mustard is primarily used as a spice and flavoring agent. It adds a distinct, slightly tangy taste to foods and is commonly found in spice blends, sauces, marinades, and processed meats like sausages and hot dogs.

Health notes

Ground yellow mustard is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is not known to have adverse health effects when consumed in typical amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mustard seed and its preparations, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for its use as a spice.

Allergen info

Mustard is one of the nine FDA major food allergens. People with a mustard allergy should avoid it.
