What it is

Celery powder is made from dried celery stalks and leaves. The celery is typically dried and then ground into a powder. It can be used as a natural source of nitrates and nitrites.

Why it's used

Celery powder is often used as a natural preservative in processed meats like pepperoni and salami. It can help prevent the growth of bacteria and extend shelf life. It is also sometimes used to add a savory flavor.

Health notes

Celery powder is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of nitrates, which the body can convert to nitrites. Some research suggests that dietary nitrates and nitrites may have benefits for blood pressure, but other studies have raised concerns about the potential formation of nitrosamines, which are linked to cancer. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated nitrates and nitrites, but their findings do not indicate a need for specific health warnings at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Celery is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
