What it is

Horseradish extract is a flavoring derived from the root of the horseradish plant (Armoracia rusticana). The root is typically grated or ground, and then extracted using water or alcohol to capture its pungent flavor compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add horseradish extract to provide a sharp, spicy flavor. It is commonly found in condiments like mustard, salad dressings, mayonnaise, and sauces, as well as in processed meats and seafood dishes.

Health notes

Horseradish extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is not typically consumed in amounts that would raise health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated its safety, and no significant health controversies are associated with its use at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

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